The Relationships Pop-Up Window 

Use

The MDM Client includes a pop-up window for reviewing, adding (linking), and removing (unlinking) related records for each product-level relationship. You access the window from the Relationships field, which appears on the right side of the Record Detail tab.

Any changes you make to the set of related records are immediately saved to the repository. Be careful.

You can open the Relationships pop-up window only if a single record is selected in the Records grid.

When zero records are selected or more than one record is selected in the Recordsgrid, the Relationships field is disabled and highlighted in read-only gray.

For each product-level relationship, the Relationships field in the Record Detail tab displays a count for the number of related records. To view the actual related records, open the Relationships pop-up window and move from tab to tab.

 

Procedure

To open the resizable Relationships pop-up window:

In the Record Detail tab, double-click on the Relationships field to open the Relationships pop-up window shown in the figure below.

The relationship on which you double-click in the Relationships field determines the active Relationshiptab when you first open the Relationships pop-up window.

The pop-up window remains open on top until you close it, and is hidden when you go into a mode other than Record mode.

The pop-up window is product-centric rather than relationship-centric, in that it shows all the related records for each relationship for the anchor record (for more information, see The Anchor Record).
