Attachments

The Find Attachments command can be used to identify parent and attachment documents in a database.  For more information, see Options available in the Search Panel.

A Knowledge Based Article on this subject can be found here: How do I find an attachment in a specific query? (cloudnine.com)

Below are a few examples of Parent and Attachment document relationships in Concordance.  There are many field naming conventions and other possible styles for Parent and Attachment fields in a Concordance database.

Example 1 - Parent Document with Two Attachments

1st Record (Parent Document)

BEGDOC:  DSC0000001

ENDDOC:  DSC0000001

BEGATTACH:  DSC0000001

ENDATTACH:  DSC0000010

2nd Record (First Attachment)

BEGDOC:  DSC0000002

ENDDOC:  DSC0000004

BEGATTACH:  DSC0000001

ENDATTACH:  DSC0000010

3rd Record (Second Attachment)

BEGDOC:  DSC0000005

ENDDOC:  DSC00000010

BEGATTACH:  DSC0000001

ENDATTACH:  DSC0000010

Notice that for each record above, the BEGDOC and ENDDOC fields reflect the Bates number range of the parent document and each attachment document. The BEGATTACH and ENDATTACH fields reflect the Bates range of the entire document (parent and all attachments).

Example 2 - Parent Document with One Attachment Using Attachment Range Field

1st Record (Parent Document)

BEGDOC:  DSC0000001

ENDDOC:  DSC0000002

ATTACHRANGE:  DSC0000001- DSC0000010

2nd Record (First Attachment)

BEGDOC:  DSC0000003

ENDDOC:  DSC00000010

ATTACHRANGE:  DSC0000001- DSC0000010

Example 3 - Doc IDs With a Parent Document and One Attachment

1st Record (Parent Document)

DOCID:  DSC00000001

PARENTDOCID:  DSC0000001

2nd Record (First Attachment)

DOCID:  DSC0000002

PARENTDOCID:  DSC0000001

In this scenario, the PARENTDOCID field establishes the parent to attachment relationship for this document.
