A document template that uses query macros enables documents to dynamically render links to a set of documents. If new documents are added to the system that meet the query criteria, links to these documents are automatically added to the querying document. This feature is also called dynamic lists or automatic linking.
Dynamic linking allows to render links dependent on the context. This can be a single link or a list of links as shown in the following screenshot.
You specify queries like this:
SELECT PropertyOne, PropertyTwo, PropertyFour
WHERE PropertyOne = "Some String" AND
(PropertyTwo = "Another String" OR PropertyFive = "Something")
SORT BY PropertyOne, PropertyThree
Note that this is pseudo syntax. The values for SELECT, WHERE and SORT BY are passed to the macros as parameters.
Dynamic linking is supported with
