Process diagrams often have shapes that reference non-iGrafx, External Files (e.g., PDF, Word Document, etc.) that provide supporting documentation about the process flow. For example, a shape might link to a Word Document with detailed operating procedures.
In addition, enterprise objects (e.g. Processes, Resources, Requirements, etc. ) can have "Documented By" relationships to External Files that give additional detail about the enterprise object.
For change and impact analysis, it's good to know where an External File is being referenced. For example, before modifying an External File, you might want to know what repository elements refer to that file.
