Supported Content Types
Yonder supports multiple content types, each identifiable by a specific icon.
Different content types offer distinct features and behaviors. Displaying the corresponding icon helps users understand how the content will be presented and what functionality is available for that type.
This visual distinction enables users to quickly manage expectations regarding display options and supported features within Yonder.
| CONTENT TYPE | Description | ICON |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Document | XHTML, XML content |  |
| Forms | Forms or reports that the end user can fill in and submit |  |

| Files: PowerPoint* | PowerPoint presentations |  |
* Macros are generally restricted as they pose a security risk.
Smart Documents
Smart Documents are created directly in Yonder — either by using the built-in Yonder Editor or by importing existing content through supported import methods.
