Connects an eligible record to a subscribing Person or organizational record. It records an interest in selected events or updates for that record.
When to use it
For change records, use the Change Cockpit as the main UI to manage the record and its relationships. Use Subscription when you need to record this connection between the source and target records. Subscription records interest in configured updates.
Records and direction
- Relationship type: Non-structure. Associates records without creating a parent-child hierarchy.
- From: Eligible managed records, including Item.
- To: Person, Team, Role, Business Unit, Organization.
How to use it
- Create the relation with drag and drop in a Structure widget: drag the intended Person onto the Item it relates to. Choose Subscription, 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 Subscription 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 Jordan Lee (Person) through Subscription. The association lets readers follow the related information without creating a hierarchy. The configured subscription events and notification settings determine which updates are received.
Choosing the relationship
Subscription records interest in configured updates. Follower identifies a participant following work; available notification settings determine what the subscriber receives.
