After some startup problems I finally got it up and running on a test server and it seems to be quite capable of what we expect it to do. Still, there is one thing:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I was wondering if you could link documents to each other with Alfresco - so that you might have one leading document and several attachements linked to it. The reason is that I am working a lot with documents that have exhibits or attachements that come in seperate documents, all of which should always follow the leading document on its lifecycle (like, for example, the discussions do). At least, the relation between leading document and exhibit should be retrievable during the whole lifecycle. I figure defining categories to identify documents that belong together would not really be the best solution, and I couldn't get any useful information by searching this forum. But as this seems to me to be rather an obvious function for a DMS, I hope anyone could just provide me with a quick answer (or a link to it).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Grizzly</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:25:14 GMT grizzly 2008-07-14T09:25:14Z Linking documents to each other https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/linking-documents-to-each-other/m-p/158419#M112531 Hello everybody,I am currently evaluating Alfresco for a potential implementation as main DMS in our company.
