By default, tasks can be related to each other using a parent/child relationship, such
as a Problem with a group of child Incidents or a Catalog Request with a group of child Catalog
Tasks.

However, it may prove useful to record exactly the nature of the relationship between the task records. When activated, the Many-to-Many Task Relations plugin allows administrators to define relationships between different
tasks.
* **[Request many to many task relations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IXR1~s7T80rPuGOdmM8VpA)**   
  The Many to Many Task Relations plugin (com.snc.task_relations) is included with several plugins. You can request activation of the plugin by itself.
* **[Plugin manifest](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rLUJt7r_e0IP~WwRQm46sQ)**   
  When the plugin is activated, the Task Relationships application is available with certain modules.
* **[Define a relationship type](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OtqGAQCWGkmFYa2vQ3OjMQ)**   
  Create type codes that define the relationship between parent and child tasks.
* **[Define a task relationship allowed from the task relationship type record](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~t8ouJWu0CVEPgy95h9nXg)**   
  Define the Task Relationships Allowed from the Task Relationship Type record.
* **[Modify the displayed field](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/veCe8mYnVfXb2XlDjxaFeg)**   
  The list view of the Reference Lookup defines the fields displayed in the Task Relations field and editing interface.
* **[Mark as Solution button](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/j~XvHnTDBkV9KDVY3nY4qg)**   
  The Mark as Solution button is added to the KB popup view and displayed when you search the knowledge base from a task record.
* **[Task relationships with UI actions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WzCTSITWXfrgf9yn57AGTg)**   
  After defining task relationships, you can use UI Actions to define the task relationship when a new task is being created from an old task.
