5. In the Page menu of the Search for links page, click Link then Link Reciprocal.

The items are linked, and the Cross-References Page is displayed again with the ID and titles of items linked as cross-references. 6. Now click the Info icon for the cross-referenced item System Backup to open the content information page for the item which was just linked. Scroll down to the Links area. Notice the Cross-Reference and Cross-Referenced By links now indicate the reciprocal cross-reference links. Each Cross-References link now contains the plus + signs, and this appears for the content information pages of both items. 7. Click the Cross-Referenced By link. The Cross-Referenced By links page is displayed for the item. You cannot perform any action from the Cross-Referenced By links page except viewing content information for any listed items. You must unlink the cross-referenced by items from their respective originating cross-references link pages; the same is true of Supported Content By or other indented destination links.

12.5.5 Superseded Link Example

This example demonstrates creating a superseded link. Because subject-to-review content must be kept up-to-date, this example demonstrates superseding items that are subject to review. However, you can supersede items not subject to review as well. This example locates an existing subject-to-review item, accesses the supersedes link, and checks in a new item that supersedes the existing one. The supersedes link is a special type of link allowing you to take advantage of disposition processing to handle the superseded items. You can set up a category to have disposition processing rules such as Destroy AFTER superseded or Archive AFTER superseded. The supersede linking does not itself process superseded items; you must file the item into a category whose disposition instructions include handling superseded states. The most likely scenario for superseding is to link a new item to an existing item. When new content is linked superseded to existing content, the existing content becomes obsolete and is marked as superseded automatically. The superseded and obsolete dates are populated for you on the content information page of the superseded item. The current reigning content is always at the top of the list of superseded content. The superseded content is all underneath the current one, and Superseded is indicated parenthetically after each superseded item. The superseded items are displayed in the order the superseding occurred, starting with the first at the bottom of the list. Of course, you do not have to file content that might be superseded into categories containing disposition instructions explicit to superseded. Multiple versions of superseded content can exist; their respective disposition instructions may just involve a retention period and then a destruction. To step through this example, create a subject-to-review item called Status Report. If you have a non-production instance containing a subject-to-review category with disposition instructions for handling superseded content states, file the item into that category. Create another document called new status report but do not check it in before the example. It will be checked in during the example. To try out this example: 1. Search for an existing item to link that is subject to review, for this example, an item called Status Report. 12-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Universal Records Management

2. From the search results page, select Add Link Supersedes from the Actions

menu of the item to link. The Supersedes link page opens for the existing item called Status Report.

3. Select Link then Link New Item on the Page menu. The Content Check In Form is

displayed. Check in the document you created called New Status Report as a subject-to-review item into a category whose disposition instructions include actions to handle a superseded state. 4. The Supersedes link page is displayed again with the superseded content and its linked item shown. The originating content that was superseded is now in the list, with its superior item now listed above it. Because the disposition instruction of the Status Report is set to destroy when superseded, the administrator responsible for the item will receive a notification there is a pending event for the administrator to process destroying the superseded item.
