Adding related items
You can add a link from one teamspace object to a related item that is either copied to the clipboard, or that has a URL outside the object store. After adding a related item to a discussion, poll, task, or meeting, other teamspace members have easy access to documents or other objects that are related to the subject.
Depending on where the target object is located, do one of the following:
- If you are linking to a target object in a teamspace, select the object and use copy to clipboard to add it to the clipboard list.
- If you are linking to a target object outside the object store, determine the object's URL.

To add a related item to an existing item
- Select the source object (a task or poll, for example) to display the details.
- In the related items area of the detail view, select add then select related item from the list.
- Select the appropriate tab for the type of object. Use Clipboard items if you have added the object to the clipboard. Use External URL if you are linking to an object outside the teamspace. (Preface URLs with http:// or ftp://.)
- Select the item from the list or enter the URL.
- Click add selection to include the item.
To create a new item and link it to another teamspace object
- Select the source object (a task or poll, for example) to display the details.
- In the related links area of the detail view, select add then select new discussion, new meeting, or new task as appropriate.
- Enter the information into the dialog screen to create the new discussion, meeting, or task, then click ok. This automatically adds the new object to the list of the related links for the current object, and links the current object to the newly created one.
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. 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.
