The GM+View has been there for a couple of years now but very few people find anything much useful to do with it.

But here’s something handy: you can use it to make a document of your choice appear as part of the record.

Create a link under the Links tab to the html version of your document and type DISPLAY in the name field.

The contents of the file should now appear by magic under the GM+View tab.
