Displaying Related Item or Items

CES shows relationships between items in different classes. For example, your organization might want to track part and manufacturer information. The relationship in this case is: Manufacturers make parts. In many cases, organizations want to reflect this relationship in their data. In the simplest example, a relationship between two classes might appear as another field. You might have a Manufacturer Name field for the STATIC RAM - VIP class. However, including a simple field means the search conditions you can specify for the manufacturer when searching the STATIC RAM class are limited to the Manufacturer Name, even though the database stores other
useful information about the manufacturer.

CES enables you to access other properties for a related class through pointers. You can use these pointers to construct a more specific search. When you are searching, this relationship structure enables you to view and use the properties of a related class in your search. After a search, you can use the same relationships between items in the database to select an item in the Results Page and view any items related to it.

This task explains how to display the related item or items:

  1. Select the class from the Category Browser Page. Click [V].
