Easy document management
You create Multidoc documents, also called collections, by entering data in the Multidoc custom field. A top-level page lists the document type and article ID of the pages directly beneath it.
A linear document is all on one level, so Multidoc considers the Start page to be the top. To create a four-page linear document you would make an entry such as this in the Start page’s Multidoc field:
To change page order simply rearrange them in this list.
Even complex documents are very manageable, because a page only lists those pages immediately beneath it. We’ll add structure to our example document:
We’ll edit the Start page’s Multidoc field to reflect the new document relationships, changing “Page” to “Section”. Then each Section page lists its sub-pages:
| Article ID | Multidoc field |
|---|---|
| 23 | Section 24 25 26 |
| 24 | Page 27 28 |
| 25 | Page 29 30 |
| 26 | Page 31 32 |
That’s all we have to do. Every page in the collection now has access to the entire document tree.
