Option Description

Linking tab

Include documents with references of these types

Renders the documents that are related to the submitted document by Meridian Enterprise references and merges the renditions. Select the references types in the list that link together the documents that you want to be included in the merged rendition. Below the list, select an option to control which referenced documents to include: Referenced by the main document, That reference the main document, or Both.

Include documents with this property of the main document

Renders the documents that are related to the submitted document by a common property and merges the renditions. Click the property name in the list. How the matching property values are determined is configured with the Comparison operator for included documents option. The documents to be rendered and merged must have a value for this property in order to be processed.

Comparison operator for included documents

Determines whether property values match so that documents are rendered and merged. In the list, click the name of the operator to use to compare the property values. If the Contains operator is selected, the property value of the included documents must contain the entire value of the submitted document. If the Equals operator is selected, the property value of the included documents must exactly match the entire value of the submitted document.

Grouping tab

Include the main document

Merges the rendition of the submitted document with the renditions of the documents that are related by the options on the Linking tab. If disabled, only the renditions of the related documents are included in the merged rendition. This option is useful for merging the renditions of the documents that are linked to a Meridian Asset Management Module object that has been submitted for rendering.

Place the main document first in each group

Places the rendition of the submitted document first in the merged rendition, followed by the renditions of the related documents. The order of the related renditions is determined by the option that is selected in the Sort group. If disabled, the rendition of the submitted document is also determined by the option that is selected in the Sort group.

Limit each group to a maximum of
