### Document Relationships available in RIM

#### Based On
When you create a document from a Controlled Document Template, that newly created document inherits a _Based On_ relationship to the specific version of the template document from which it was derived. This relationship allows you to easily track which documents are based on which version of which Template.

#### Linked Documents
Vault automatically creates these relationships between a source document and a target document when a user creates <a class="external-link " href="https://platform.veevavault.help/en/gr/15303" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link annotations<i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> that refer to an anchor on the target document.


#### Originates From
This is an Active Dossier-specific relationship. The _Originates From_ relationship allows you to relate the documents that the current document version should replace/supersede in the Active Dossier.

#### Redaction
The _Redacted_ yes/no document field and _Redaction_ document relationship type have been added to support EU Clinical Trial Regulation (CTR) and the growing industry trend towards clinical trial transparency. The _Redacted_ field is available for authors or publishers to identify whether a document contains redactions. Additionally, the _Redaction_ document relationship allows users to establish a relationship between redacted documents and their unredacted source files.


#### Source References
Vault automatically creates this relationship between source documents and published Submissions Archive or Submission Ready-type documents during the <a href="/en/gr/374721/#merging-content-plan-items">publishing process</a> or at <a href="/en/gr/28082/#document_fields">submission import</a>.  Additionally, Vault creates this relationship on documents processed and created by the RIM Correspondence Email Processor. A _Source Reference_ relationship is created on each document created from the email’s attachments and points to the source email document. 

#### Related Email Documents
Vault automatically creates a _Related Email Documents_ relationship on documents processed and created by the RIM Correspondence Email Processor. A _Related Email Documents_ relationship is created on the source email document and points to the documents created from its attachments. 


#### Supporting Documents
This is intended to allow two documents to be linked together. It is generally not Version Specific.


#### Translation
Vault allows users to link translated documents (e.g., non-English documents) with their source documents. In countries where submissions must be provided in the local language, Active Dossier queries the _Translations_ document relationship to identify the English source documents. While the English source document is always shown in Active Dossier, the local language translation is visible from the hover card.


#### Attachments
The _Attachment_ relationship provides a simple way to upload and associate related files with existing documents without the overhead of Vault’s full document management capabilities.
