How To Create Related Document Links and Why

 

Links are logical connections between associated documents.

Examples of uses for document links are:

  • You can store Review or Inspection results, document attachments, related information, and so on with a document - they each may have their own attributes, versions, and document format types.
  • A Master Document concept can be used to link project procedures or book chapters, and so on.
  • Project requirements can be linked to architecture and design, which can be linked to test plans, which can be linked to code modules.

You can tell whether or not a document has links by looking at the Document Links Indicator on the Document Detail Window - in the Project Info Partition.

Shown below is an example COMPAS Document Detail Window with the Doc Links Indicator="Yes".
