A relation qualifier, which is a CI of the Qualifier \[cmdb_ci_qualifier\] type, stores
important information about the CI relationships.

In a relation qualifier, you can annotate arbitrary unique information about the relationship
between two CIs. You can define multiple qualifiers for a single relationship, resulting in a
qualifier chain. But, there can be only a single qualifier chain for a specific relationship type
between two CIs.

For example, for a relationship between a parent CI and a child CI, you can add a relation qualifier to note that the relationship was discovered based on traffic (such as
cmdb_ci_qualifier_traffic_based_connection). This results in having two records in the CI Relationship \[cmdb_rel_ci\] table for the relationship.  
* A record that links the parent CI and the new qualifier
* A record that links the new qualifier and the child CI
{#c_RelationQualifier__ul_bwz_j31_ks}

For this relationship, there is a parent CI and a child CI, and a relation qualifier of type
cmdb_ci_qualifier_trafficbased.

For information about usage of relation qualifiers in the identification process, see [Identification rules](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZWviG2zy3GczwUhdeP5paQ "The CMDB identification process relies on identification rules to uniquely identify CIs.").
