Preparation note: add screenshots/GIF before publishing — the "Create linked document" button on the list, the popup with the parent banner, and the list showing the full number (1032‑1) and its parent.
1. Open the employee's contracts
- Open the employee profile, then the Contracts page (the list of all that employee's contracts and documents).
- The list shows every existing contract — each with its number and key details.
- Don't see the page or the buttons? Working with contracts requires the right permission — contact your company administrator.
2. Start creating a linked document
- On the row of the contract you're annexing, click Create linked document.
- The creation window opens. The top of the window clearly states which document you're linking the new one to (the parent's full number) — make sure it's the right contract before you continue.
Need a standalone (unlinked) contract? Use the usual Create contract button — that window has no parent banner and the document won't be linked.
3. Fill in and save
- Choose the contract type and fill in the remaining fields (dates, etc.) as for a regular contract. An annex uses one of the existing contract types.
- Confirm creation. A success message appears and the window closes.
- The new document immediately gets a secondary number that builds on its parent — the first linked one is ‑1, the next ‑2, and so on.
4. Multiple levels of linking (annex of an annex)
- A linked document can itself have linked documents. On the annex row (e.g. 1032‑1), click Create linked document again.
- The new document continues the chain — e.g. 1032‑1‑1 — for as many levels as you need.
5. The contract list view
- A linked document in the list shows its full number (e.g. 1032‑1) and, right next to it, which parent document it belongs to.
- Standalone (unlinked) contracts show only their own number, with no parent.
So you always know at a glance which annex goes with which contract — no manual tracking.
