# FileSystemReferenceField

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

NOTE: You can specify nested field structures by separating field names with a forward slash (`/`). For example `FILESYSTEM/REFERENCE`

When View retrieves a document from the document store, it checks whether the document contains this reference field. If it does, View attempts to retrieve the original document from the file system.

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

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