Parent Reference Document Template
Where It's Used
Used when a group of supporting documents needs to be linked to a single parent record — such as a case number, order ID, or project code. Solves the problem of loose files with no clear association to their parent, by prepending the parent reference to the original filename.
Template Pattern
{parent}-{original}
