A relationship is a connection between two items in a repository. Relationships allow Webtop to process items together. Relationships also allow users to access certain items by first accessing other related items. For example, if a document has been annotated by several reviewers and if each annotation has a relationship to the original document, a user can access the annotations by viewing the document’s relationships.
A relationship is defined by a relation type. The relation type specifies how the two items are related. For example, the relation type might indicate the relationship is maintained along versions.
System relation types are those that are created by your WDK-based application. For example, a relationship between a file and its thumbnail is a system relation type.
If the following option is available in your WDK-based application, you also have ad hoc relation types. Ad hoc relation types are those that are created by users. Users with administrative permission levels can create ad hoc relation types.
