Hi Roberto, Thanks for your answers. I'm having trouble configuring the smart links. Here is what I want to do.
Document type: Spec MetaData Internal Name: DocNum; Value: <String> MetaData Internal Name: CrossRef; Value: <DocNum> Document type: Memo MetaData Internal Name: DocNum; Value: <String> MetaData Internal Name: CrossRef; Value: <DocNum> I want to create a smart link that will link a document of any type when the CrossRef value matches the DocNum.
