1. A computing system comprising:
at least one hardware processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor; and
one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a document identifier;
in response to receiving the document identifier, and using the document identifier, identifying a plurality of documents upstream or downstream, in a defined document flow of a process, of a document having the document identifier based at least in part on relationships of one or more relationship types between the plurality of documents and the document, wherein a relationship type for a relationship between two documents indicates whether a document is upstream of another document or is downstream of another document; and
causing a display to be generated displaying the document and multiple documents of the plurality of documents, the display comprising a hierarchical display of documents organized in multiple hierarchical levels at least in part using document relationships, wherein a downstream document is at a lower hierarchical level than the document having the document identifier and an upstream document is at a higher hierarchical level than the document having the document identifier.
