5015 -- Links Also File Plans

[gcr]

All,

I'm new to Alfresco and am doing an evaluation of records management.  I am using Community Edition 3.2.  I have a couple of questions.

1. 5015 requires a linking capability between records.  I can't seem to find any thing in the UI that supports this. I read on the Alfresco wiki that something called a reference is supported.  It sounds like the same thing. Is it? 

2. It would appear that Alfresco supports the creation of only one file plan and all records must be contained therein.  Is this correct?  Is there anyway to have multiple file plans?

References are indeed links between records. When viewing a record's details (assuming you have the right capability) you will have a "manages references" panel on the lower right of the page. This will allow you to create links between records.

We do not currently support multiple file plans. You may be able to set-up two instances to support this, I'm not sure exactly what your requirement is.
