7.2 Viewing Relationships in Table View

By default, the list of relationships is displayed in tabular form, with pagination support, in the Table View tab. Pagination is based on the number of relationships in the search result.

Clicking on the source summary or target summary of a relationship displays the source or target attribute values on the right panel. Clicking elsewhere on the row, other than source summary or target summary, displays the relationship attribute values on the right panel.

A user with the RmAdministrator or RmIntegrator role can update the effective date, expiration date, validity, and status (active or inactive) of the relationship.

To update the relationship attribute value:

1. In the list of relationships, click on the relationship row for which you want to update the attribute value.

7.3 Viewing Relationships in Graph View

To view the relationships in graphical form, click the Graph View tab. In graphical view, the searched entity is displayed at the center of the graph and other related entities around it. Pagination in the graphical view is based on the number of related entities present in the search result as all the relationship between searched entity and related entities are displayed in the same page.

Each arrow represents a relationship between the two entities. Clicking on the entity node displays its properties on the right panel and clicking on an arrow displays the relationship attribute values on the right panel.

A user with the RmAdministrator or RmIntegrator role can update the effective date, expiration date, validity, and status (active or inactive) of the relationship.
