Can I specify a URL (http://someserver.com/image.gif) as a place holder for the location of a PDF or image file? I believe that MDM stores a local copy of the file in the server. This is not desirable in my project because the latest version of the files will be stored in another server. The desired behavior is that MDM will grab the most up-to-date version from the image server and display it on the screen, even the thumbnails.
I tested the "Link to original", as opposed to "store in repository", option when added the image/PDF file. When I deleted the original file that was on my PC, MDM still was able to display the image that I originally loaded. Hence, my suspicion that MDM stores a local copy in the server.
