Creating and managing relations

Creating new relations

The Relation module itself does not provide any user interface for creating relations, though the included Relation Entity Collector block does. (See separate sections for information on how to use it.) Also, it is possible to use the Rules module to create relations.

Listing existing relations

The Relation UI module provides relation listing and basic search elements for site admins. This UI can be found as a tab on admin/content page.

Viewing, editing and deleting relations

The Relation module provides a page for each relation available on your site. These pages are found at relation/RID, where RID is the ID of the relation.

The view tab of the relation page displays the relation, including any fields configured for the relation type. The edit tab allows you to edit any fields you have added to your relation type, but does not allow editing the relation endpoints. If you want to change the endpoints of a relation, the recommended method is to create a new relation and delete the old one. (This is a deliberate choice of the Relation maintainers.)

The delete tab deletes the relation, after promting for your verification.
