The Multi-Association indexes inner-relationships of the host document type along with records from the PaperSave database. It allows users to create a Dynamics MultiAssociation between two host applications document type or within the same host application document type. The PaperSave System will find the associated document type in between Parent Document Type and Child Document Type.

 
A customer is able to map new associations by defining the association details using a mapping query list between Parent Document Types and Child Document Type. Before creating a  dynamic multiassociation association, a user can add their own formulas(query) while adding Document Type Mapped Associations in PaperSave Settings. These formulas can be based on Document Type profile field. Any profile fields keyed by user that match the formula in between the document will generate a relationship between the two hosts or within the host.
