This is about building logical links between documents / building document hierarchy, but without using Spaces. I'm using Alfresco 3.3 Community Edition. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Look at these cases, for example:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- i need to store a link to some document inside Alfresco as a metadata parameter of another document. E.g. i'm ulpoading a document (using "add content"), fill in some document parameters, and one of these parametesi is a link to some other document (earlier uploaded to Alfresco), creating a parent-child link between documents;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- i need to create some kind of multipart document (e.g. one .pdf document and one .txt review);</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- i need to create Attachments (e.g. to attach one document to another).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Any opinions/hints/infos/links are greatly appreciated!</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thank you.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>PS If there is something mentioned above only in Enterprise and not in Community edition - also, let me know, please.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:17:36 GMT d_garry 2010-10-12T13:17:36Z Composite/Compound documents https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/composite-compound-documents/m-p/231905#M185035 Hello!Tell me, please, is it possible to implement compound (composite) documents in some way in Alfresco ECM?.
