# DistributedConnectorReferenceField

The document reference field that contains a reference value that View Server can use to retrieve the document by using the Distributed Connector or IDOL NiFi Ingest.

When View Server retrieves a document from the document store, it checks whether the document contains this reference field. If it does, View Server attempts to retrieve the original document from the Distributed Connector or NiFi.

You must configure the distributed connector host and port in the `[Viewing]` configuration section, by using DistributedConnectorHost and DistributedConnectorPort.
