    Vorbereitungen

    Role required: admin

    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    You can edit a relationship from the Lineage Map by selecting the arrow between two nodes, or by navigating to the related node record in the Hierarchy tab list.

    What you can edit:

    • Relationship type: You can change the relationship type, but only within the same data flow direction. A downstream relationship type can only be changed to another downstream relationship type. An upstream relationship type can only be changed to another upstream relationship type. You cannot change the direction of data flow, as the source and target of a relationship cannot be reversed after it has been created.
    • Description: You can update the description of the relationship.
    • Key relationship: You can enable or disable key relationship for a record (subject to the key relationship hierarchy rules).
