4. Associations

Create Associations

This section allows the recipe creator to associate/link attributes with classes. This is helpful when a class is to be linked to one or more than one attribute and not all.

If an attribute is associated with all the classes, it much more convenient to mark it as a global attribute while creating a class level attribute.

• The New Association form on the right side (highlighted area in red) is used to create associations/links between classes and attributes created in the prior steps.

• Users can select multiple attributes and link them to a single class. On saving, the association is reflected in rows on the left side (highlighted area in pink).
• All the class level attributes that were marked as global during attribute creation are populated in the bottom left sections (highlighted area in yellow).
• Task level and batch level attributes that were created in the previous steps appear in their respective tabs in the bottom section (highlighted area in yellow).

Create Relations

This section allows the recipe creator to create relationships between two classes with instances.

Relations can be formed only between classes that have instance. Only these classes will appear in the selection dropdown of 'Subject' and 'Object' input.

• The New Relation form on the right side (highlighted area in red) is used to create a relationship between two classes. On saving changes, the relationship will get reflected in rows on the left side (highlighted area in pink).

  1. Enter Relation Name

  2. Choose a subject (child/following) class from the dropdown. For example, Rider

  3. Choose a object (parent/leading) class from the dropdown. For example, Bicycle
