Create references between elements

Some elements work as target elements; you set them up once in your document and reference them several times.

About this task

To create a reference between elements, you can manually create the target element and reference it from the source element. You can also use the Create target menu to create a target element and reference it in one step.

In the following example, we create an additional Single-dose preparation scheme and link it to a Test sample in a Dose-response analysis document.

Procedure

To create a target for an element:
  1. Right-click Preparation scheme and select Create target for Test: TST1….

  2. As the target, select 'Preparation scheme,' and then select Create.
    Result: A second Single-dose scheme is created and automatically assigned to the Test sample.
