Links in Documents- Why is it helpful?

Modified on Thu, 22 Dec, 2022 at 2:54 PM

Documents can be related to each other. Some procedures can be linked to other documents (such as instructions or forms) and these procedures can be linked to other processes (such as complaints, action plans, or audits).

For data enrichment purposes and for an improved user experience, a link between documents and processes can be easily created using the Link feature.

3 kinds of links may be created in the Document Management module:

Document-to-document link
Document-to-process link
Link a document to a non-AGIR web page (external link)

How to create a Link?

1. To create new links, open the document homepage and click on Links.

2. Create your new links as shown in the next screenshot. Reminder: links can be created for documents, processes, and external websites.
