Example of the Relationship Display Relships / Used by Relships for a Table:

The title bar of the detailed relationship display shows the composite name of the selected object. Below this bar, the objects to which the selected object type is related are represented by their icons. In addition, the relationships are displayed as a list of relationship names below the object icons in the combo box.
Select the Relships / Uses Relships menu item to display all relationships in which the selected object type occurs as the using object. Select the Relships / Used by Relships menu item to display all relationships in which the selected object type occurs as the used object. Select the Relships / All Object Relships menu item to display all relationships involving the selected object type either in a combo box or as an object icon.
In the last case, an object icon can be displayed twice, because it can be related to the selected object as both a using and used object (see View Uses Synonym and Synonym Refers toView).
Two ways to display the list of objects that have relationships to each other:
1. Double Click on the object icon to display the list of all own objects that have a relationship to the selected object. The name of the selected relationship is displayed in the combo box.
2. First, you can select the relationship either using the combo box or by clicking on the object icon. Then you can select the objects that have a relationship to the current object. Select the
Object / List All Objects function (
toolbar button) to obtain a list of all objects and the Object / List Own Objects function (
toolbar button) to obtain a list of your own objects that have the selected relationship to the current object. When you select the Object / Select Objects function (
toolbar button), a dialog box is displayed in which you can further qualify the list to be generated.
The following example shows the result of executing Object / List All Objects:

The list of objects with the selected relationship to the object that was initially selected is displayed in the bottom half of the relationship list form. The customizing options for object lists described above also apply to this object list.
Navigating From One Object to Another
All operations can be executed for the object list within the relationship display that can be executed for the simple object list. After selecting an object, you can use the Relships menu function to obtain the object list of other relationships to other objects. In this way, you can navigate through the relationships from one object to another and stop wherever you wish in order to modify an object or to view or modify the comment for an object.
