Linking definitions

The following terminology is used to define the object linking and embedding functionality in iManage Work Desktop for Windows:

  • Container document: The document in which you insert the linked object. You can insert a source document as a linked object in Microsoft Excel using one of the following options:

    • Add iManage link: inserts the first page of the source document saved to iManage Work into the container document.

    • Add native link: inserts the first page of the source document saved locally on your device into the container document.

    • Paste Special (Home > Paste > Paste Special): pastes specific text from a source document into the container document as an OLE link.

  • Source document: the document used to create the linked object. If the content of the source document is edited, the information displayed from the source document in the container document can change, depending on whether you choose to update the linked object.
