Document Relationships

Document relationships allow you to link two documents that are associated with one another in some way. You can then use this relationship to keep track of linked documents. For example, if you file e-mails in Laserfiche, you might create a document relationship to link e-mails with their attachments. You might also use a document relationship to specify that a particular document has superseded another document.

A document relationship can contain a custom property. Custom properties are generally used for integrations, and are added to provide additional information, descriptions, or reference material about the specific relationship.

For more information on document relationships, see the documentation provided for the Laserfiche web or Windows client.

Important notes

A type of relationship needs to be defined from the Admin Console before users will be allowed to link documents from the Laserfiche web or Windows client.

All repositories contain a Superseded/Superseded By link. This link cannot be renamed or deleted. Although this link serves a special purpose when used with Records Management, it does not behave differently from other links when used with non-record documents.
