 Displaying Related Notifications

Use

When you create, change, or display a notification, you can also display related notifications that contain the same reference objects. The information in these related notifications may help you analyze or correct the problem you are processing in the current notification (for example, by informing you how many times this problem occurred in the past, which tasks were implemented, and so on).
