Linked Record

Introduction

The Linked Record field in Unifize allows users to reference records from another process directly within a checklist. It creates a real-time connection to those records, showing selected fields inline so users can view or interact with key information without leaving the current context. This improves visibility, reduces duplication, and ensures related data stays connected.

For example, users can link a supplier record or a CAPA directly into a checklist step of a quality event. This makes related information immediately available, helping users make informed decisions faster.

What you can do with Linked Record
