Creating New Relationships Between Records in Network Recursive Conceptual Objects
A network recursive structure is an entity where the list of elements and the relationship between the elements are stored in two different entities. This allows for a many-to-many relationship between the lists of elements. A network recursive data object looks and functions like a regular data object. The hierarchies in a network recursive structure are best viewed through a conceptual object. The menu options of a Network Recursive conceptual object are similar to those of a self recursive conceptual object. Network recursive objects however have an additional option Add Relationship.
There are multiple ways to add a hierarchy in a network recursive conceptual object. You can add a relationship to another object using drag and drop functionality or by adding a record when viewing the object through the primary axis. The primary axis visually displays the relationship between objects in a hierarchical format.
To establish a new relationship between existing records using the primary axis
1. On the Menu toolbar, click Manage > Manage Data.
2. Navigate to the object that you want to edit and select it.
3. Click the Values tab to display records and command options.
4. In network recursive objects in tree view, navigate to the parent record in the navigation panel. (The details for the selected record display in the right panel.)
Tip: Click the Open Next Level icon or Open All Levels to display the tree hierarchy of self recursive objects.
5. Establish the new relationship by doing either of the following:
Click
Insert > Add Relationship.
Choose the
Primary Axis from the object selection and click
Add Entry in the right panel.
6. Select the new relationship from the lookup table and define the remaining data fields, including the new child relationship and click Save.
OneData defines the new relationship.
