# FileSystemReferenceField

The document reference field that contains a reference value that View Server can use to retrieve the document from a local file system or network share.

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 file system.

NOTE: If the document also contains the configured DistributedConnectorReferenceField, View Server attempts to retrieve the document from the Distributed Connector or IDOL NiFi Ingest, and not the file system.

Similarly, if the document contains the configured WebURLField, View Server attempts to retrieve the document from the Web.
