Connects an eligible work or information record to the Item that gives it product context.
When to use it
For change records, use the Change Cockpit as the main UI to manage the record and its relationships. Use Context when you need to record this connection between the source and target records. Context identifies the product Item relevant to work.
Records and direction
- Relationship type: Non-structure. Associates records without creating a parent-child hierarchy.
- From: Eligible managed records, including Problem Report.
- To: Item.
How to use it
- Create the relation with drag and drop in a Structure widget: drag the intended Item onto the Problem Report it relates to. Choose Context, review the direction and any offered values, then confirm.
- Alternatively, use Connect from the source record and select the target with the Context relationship.
- Review the resulting connection and the selected record versions where applicable. Check the displayed relationship filters if the connection is not visible.
Example
Prototype Leakage Report (Problem Report) is connected to Pump P-100 (Item) through Context. The association lets readers follow the related information without creating a hierarchy. Context identifies the relevant product item without requiring the connection to mean that the item will change.
Choosing the relationship
Context identifies the product Item relevant to work. Affected Item identifies information considered affected by an investigation or change.
