The most common linked field data types are Link to Single Field from Other= Table, Link to Selected Fields from Other Table, and Related Tables.
These less common data types also utilize linked data:
These data types are also considered linked = field data types, but they're not nearly as common, and they serve much mor= e specialized purposes.
The "Copy fields (attributes only) from othe= r table" option allows you to easily copy a field you defined in another ta= ble into the table you're working in. For example, you could use the Credit= Card or Mailing Address fields in several tables within the current knowle= dgebase without having to redefine them for each table.
This function copies the field definition an= d settings, but not any of the data stored in the field in any existing rec= ords in the source table.
Unlike other linked field types, this data t= ype does not maintain any linked relationship with the source table. After = you copy the field, if you make changes to the original field in the source= table, your copies are not affected.
This data type shows the result of a configu= red search inside a record as an embedded table, without any preexisting re= lationship between the tables. Simply select a table and a saved search to = show.
Like other data types that display as embedd= ed tables, you can select a table view and action bar to use specifically i= n the embedded table.
This data type is similar to the Embedded Se= arch Result type, but it's designed to show records from the Communications= table. You can see examples of this data type in the out-of-the-box config= uration by going to the Email tab of most process tables, where a Communica= tions Search Result shows emails related to the record.
This data type is identi= cal to the Embedded Search Result type except that you don't select a table= , since it is always searching the Communications table, and the data is su= bject to the restrictions and setup of the Communications table. For more i= nformation, see Communications Table.
This data type is not generally used. In alm= ost all cases, a Link to Selected Fields is the preferred alternative becau= se you have better control over the results. If you use this data type, you= not only link every existing field in the source table; you also link ever= y field created in the source table in the future, which makes it difficult= to work with either table.
