Linked Record

PreviousFormNextNumber

Last updated 5 days ago

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

Feature
Description

Single Linked Record

Select and link one record from another process

Link multiple records

Enable linking of more than one record in the same field

Linked table

Linked Record support a semi-expended view by default. Admins can choose which embedded fields should always be visible when a record loads. All remaining fields can still be accessed via a “View all fields” toggle.

Live sync

View up-to-date data from the linked record (read-only)

Dynamic display

See only the most relevant fields as configured by an Admin

Technical workflow

  • Inside the checklist, users click on the “+” icon to add a linked record.

  • A list of available records (from the configured process) appears for selection.

  • Users choose the desired record(s) to link.

  • Once linked, each record appears as a compressed card, showing only the fields chosen by the admin.

  • Users can:

    • Click the record title to open it in a new tab

    • Use the “View all fields” toggle to expand the full checklist inline

    • Edit any editable embedded fields (if permissions allow)

How it helps you

  • Saves time by eliminating the need to switch between records

  • Reduces risk of referencing incorrect or outdated information

  • Helps in decision-making by consolidating related data in one place

  • Improves traceability by keeping references connected within a record
