Document Software Linking - Compound Document Management

Document to document linking allows users to link related documents together that would not be stored in the same folder thus allowing users to quickly see a listing of all documents linked to the master file with minimal clicks.

Documents that are linked together are sometimes referred to as a compound document. For example, a master contract document could be linked to all of its contact amendments. Users are then able to quickly see a listing of all documents linked to the master file with minimal clicks. This allows users to quickly organize documents into logical groups based on the context of the document compared to others in the system. Document to document linking maintains a parent-child relationship between the documents.

Document shortcuts can be created allowing users to make changes to a source document in a single folder and have all other linked folders automatically updated. For example, a centralized changed to price list or engineering document is automatically changed in all linked contracts or product folders respectively.
