You can add links to the objects (tasks, documents, meetings, polls, etc.) that are related to the object you are currently viewing. You can add links to new collaboration objects, existing collaboration objects, as well as links to other objects outside of the collaboration object store (such as external web sites or documents checked into other object stores).
See also Adding related items.
What do you want to do?
When you click on a related link, TCM opens the object in the appropriate detail view. If the object is in a different teamspace, a new browser window opens automatically so that you can navigate in the previous teamspace as well as the new one. You can link to an object in a deactivated teamspace, but you will not be able to modify that object.
If you are not seeing the results you expect, see Troubleshooting related items.
You can add links to other objects from the detail view of most teamspace objects. When you add a link to another teamspace object (meeting, poll, document, etc.) you are defining a relationship between those two objects.
When you link from a teamspace object to another object that is outside the teamspace (such as a document that has been checked in to the object store) then only one link is created. Collaboration users will see the link to the document from the task, meeting or poll, but Workplace users will not have a link into the teamspace.
The new object appears in the list of related items.
Note: Tasks, Polls, and Meetings do not allow you to directly add a related item link to a new collaboration object of the same type as the object with which you are working. For example, if you are looking at a task, you cannot directly add a new task as a related item. You can, however, add a task to the clipboard, then add it as a related item to another task (as described in the following section). Documents and Discussion forum topics do allow you to directly add related item links to objects of the same type as those with which you are working.
In some circumstances you cannot link an object to a new object of the same type. (For example, if you are viewing a task, you cannot add a new task as a related link.) You can use the following procedure to place one object in the clipboard and then add the link to it.
Related items may or may not be in the same teamspace as the one you are currently working in. Additionally, some documents may be stored outside of the collaboration object store entirely. For this reason, you may occasionally encounter a link to an object that you do not have permission to see. When this happens, the link may appear to be broken. Contact the teamspace administrator or the administrator for the object store if you need to modify your access rights.
