Relation Manager

You can access the Relation Manager for Codes via the Code menu, and the Relation Manager for Hyperlinks via the Quotation Menu.

Open Relation Manager

The Relation Manager is used to review the properties of existing relations, to edit existing relations, or to create new relations. You can switch between relations for code-code links and relations for hyperlinks. As the column information and the ribbon options are the same for both, below you find only one description. For further information see Working With Networks.

Single-click: Selects a relation. Its properties and comment are displayed in the navigator on the right.
