Connects an eligible record to an Idea associated with it.
When to use it
For change records, use the Change Cockpit as the main UI to manage the record and its relationships. Use Idea when you need to record this connection between the source and target records. Idea associates a record with a suggestion.
Records and direction
- Relationship type: Non-structure. Associates records without creating a parent-child hierarchy.
- From: Eligible managed records, including Item.
- To: Idea.
How to use it
- Create the relation with drag and drop in a Structure widget: drag the intended Idea onto the Item it relates to. Choose Idea, review the direction and any offered values, then confirm. When either selected record belongs to a workflow process, use the workflow tools for that connection.
- Alternatively, use Connect from the source record and select the target with the Idea relationship.
- Review the resulting connection and the selected record versions where applicable. Check the displayed relationship filters if the connection is not visible.
Example
Pump P-100 (Item) is connected to Quick Release Cover (Idea) through Idea. The association lets readers follow the related information without creating a hierarchy.
Choosing the relationship
Idea associates a record with a suggestion. Subidea organizes one Idea beneath another.
