Summary

The Relation gadget 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.

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

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 select a specific instance.

Gadget Action Menu Items

Copy

This menu item is only enabled if one or more related objects are selected. It will place the checked product relations onto the clipboard and unselect the relations in the gadget. It is important to note that the user is copying a product relation (i.e. both the related object and its relationship to the current object) onto the clipboard.

Paste

The menu item is only enabled if the current clipboard page contains one or more Product Relations or Product objects or Group objects.

Unlink

This menu item is only enabled if one or more related objects are selected. Selecting it will unlink the selected objects from the relation.

Re-order

This menu item is only enabled if a single multi-instance relation has been selected. It brings up a dialog listing the relations, allowing the user to change their order.
