9.3. Relations

One of the most important advantages of Pure is, that it connects content types with each other. Using relations can help to improve our data quality. For example, a Research output is always related to a person and the person’s organisation. These connections are shown under Display tab.

 

To manually add relations to a record:

1.    Search for the exact record, you want to link with another (in Pure already existing) record.

2.    Go the Relations or Related …. section, and choose the type of the content. Begin to search for the record you want to add to this record.

3.    Click on Save.

 

These relations are shown in the Relations tab of the record:

                                                                                                                

To manually add relations to a record depends on the workflow state. For example, if a Research output has gone through the validation process, adding a relation is no longer possible for Researchers.
