Reference types are the templates from which document references are created.

To create and edit reference types:

In Configurator, expand Reference Types in the configuration tree to display the existing reference types. Some reference types are included in vaults by default, and others are created automatically when optional TeamWork modules are installed.
To delete a reference type, select it and on the Edit menu, select Delete.
To edit a reference type, select it and click the Edit button.
To create a new reference type, on the Edit menu, select New Reference Type. A new reference type is added to the configuration tree and its property pages appear in the right pane.
On the General page, Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

Reference type options

Display Name	Type the name of the reference type as you want it to appear to users. This name should reflect the business relationship of the linked documents.
Name	A default internal name is calculated. Accept the default in most cases.
Destination	Select the document type from which this reference may be created. This option allows you to limit the document types that may use this reference type to only those for which it was created.
