Relationships with an Object

Defining Relationships for an Object

When defining relationships in the Subscribe-HR system, you are defining the Parent and Child relationships of Objects. This is also how we create folders and sub-folders in the system.
When we create a new object or page by default the Object is a Parent, when we define the relation the Object now knows where it belongs, and this maybe a child.

Example:The Object Employee Medical started life as a parent, and then a Parent of relationship was defined.
The Object Employee Medical is a child of the Object Employee due to the relationship defined.

To add an object (sub-folder) under a parent object (folder), you should select the Parent Object first and then define a Parent of relationship with the desired Object.

To move a Parent Object and its Child objects under a new Parent Object, you should select the Object you wish to move, and then define a Child of relationship with the desired object.
