Software AG Products 10.5 | Using CentraSite | Type Management | Managing Types through CentraSite Control | Adding an Association Type
 
Adding an Association Type
To create a user-defined association type, you must have the Manage Asset Types permission.
Note:
By default, users with the CentraSite Administrator role and Asset Type Administrator role have this permission.
*To add an association type
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Types.
2. Click the Association Types tab.
3. In the Association Types tab, click Add Association Type.
This opens the Add Association Type wizard.
4. In the Add Association Type wizard, type the appropriate information for each of the displayed data fields.
In this field...
Do the following...
Name
Type a name for the new association.
Be aware that this is the name that is given to attributes that use this association. Therefore, the name should be meaningful when used as an attribute name. For example, use an association name such as Developed By, not developer association.
*An association name does not need to be unique within CentraSite. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple associations the same name.
*An association name can contain any character (including spaces).
Forward Label
Specify the relationship of the source asset (the one in which the Relationship attribute resides) to one or more specified targets.
If you are not specifying a name for the forward label, then CentraSite will treat the association name as the forward label.
Reverse Label
Optional. Specify the relationship of the specified targets to the source asset.
5. Click OK.
