External documents are external files that you associate with electrical items in the software. These files can be reference documents or drawings, such as a general specification number, requisition number, vendor document, civil or structural document, site layout drawing, an electrical communications drawing, and so forth.
The software allows you to create a document reference repository that stores all the document references in your system. You can add external file references to your document repository or just create references that you can link to external files later. It is possible to display all the documents associated with a selected electrical item classified according to document category and type. Also, you can associate documents with multiple items if needed. Note that if you delete an electrical item that is associated with an external document, the software deletes the external document association automatically.
