To complete the fields in the Edit list item dialog when the list items are relations:

  1. Enter the required name of the item in the Name field. What you enter here is displayed in the has relations column on the Relations section tab in the Company screen. It should be a verb in the active form, for example, owns.

    Note
    Note

    This is a mandatory field and must therefore be filled in.

  3. Under This is a relationship between, specify if the relationship refers to a company and/or a contact on the active and passive side respectively. These fields correspond to the fields in the Relation dialog.

  4. Under Example you can see an example of what the relationship looks like in practice.
