Relations​

The relation types are defined by the Admin on the Admin panel.

The relations are defined between two object types. They have a direct relation name (from parent object type to child object type) and a converse relation name (from child object type to parent object type).

Example: 
To describe the indicators included in the report we create the relation as:

Name: Report – Indicator
Direct name: includes
Converse name: in included in
Object type (Parent): Report
Object type (Child): Indicator

rel

All relations an object has can be found on any object page in the tab Relations.

rel

To make changes into object relations switch to the edit mode (you need to be assigned as the Editor for this object).

Scroll down to see the Relations section.

In this section, you will define the object relations with all other objects. For this:

  • See relation name; the related object type is always included in the relation name

  • Click on the relation field and start typing; select the related object from the list

  • The required fields are marked with ”*”, for example, “Parent”

  • You can use Advanced search to check the list of objects of this type with all available filters.
