Summary

The purpose of the Relation gadget is to allow the user to lets you view and edit the current object's Product Relations.

The gadget displays a pseudo-folder for each Product Relation defined in Agility. The Product relations are displayed sorted in alphanumeric order.

For each Product Relation there is:

  • A 'handle' to expand/collapse the pseudo-folder
  • A checkbox to select/deselect the pseudo-folder's contents
  • The name of the Product Relation

Single-instance relations are displayed in black, while multi-instance relations are shown in blue text.

Under each pseudo-folder the object linked to the current object via that relation is displayed:

  • A selection checkbox
  • The related object type icon
  • The related object's name

Clicking on Selecting the object's name will navigate to that object and make it the current object. If more than one instance of that object exists, a dialog will open to prompt the user to select a specific instance to navigate to.
