Relationships

A relationship is a connection between two items in a repository. Relationships allow Webtop to process the 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.
