- Cross Reference
- An indexing method whereby files can include pre-sorted lists of entries as part of the stored database. Cross-references (x-refs) facilitate look-up and reporting.
- A file may be cross-referenced to provide direct access to its entries in several ways. For example, VA FileMan allows the Patient file to be cross-referenced by name, social security number, and bed number. When VA FileMan asks for a patient, the user may then respond with the patient’s name, social security number, or his bed number. A cross-reference speeds up access to the file, both for looking up entries and for printing reports.
