Managing relationships

A relationship is a connection between two objects in a repository. Relationships allow Documentum Administrator to process the objects together. Relationships also allow users to access certain objects by first accessing other related files. For example, if a document has been annotated by several reviewers, and if each annotation has a relationship to the original document, a user can access the annotations by viewing the document’s relationships.

To view relationships:

Select the object.
Select View > Relationships.

To create a relationship between two items:

Select the object that becomes the parent .
Right-click the file, and select Add Relationship.
In the selection area, select the object to relate to this object, and click OK.
Click Next.
In the Relationship list, select the type of relationship.
Click Finish.

To remove a relationship between two files:

Select either of the objects.
Select View > Relationships.
Select the relationship to remove.
Click File > Remove Relationship.
Click OK.
