You can use fields to link records of the same type or of different
types. You can link records to create a parent-child hierarchy.
About this task
To
link records to create a parent-child hierarchy:
- Start the Designer.
- Add a REFERENCE_LIST or REFERENCE type
field to the parent record.
- Right-click the field and click Show Properties.
- On the properties page, enter a name for a Back
Reference field. A Back Reference field is a read-only
field through which you can view the link from the perspective of the child
record, which makes it easier to traverse parent-child relationships. This
field is added to the field list of the child record.
- Add the new fields to the record forms. Use a parent-child
control with a REFERENCE_LIST field type. For more
information, see Working
with form controls.
