# Relationships between configuration records

# Relationships between configuration records {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Yokohama

The Application File Types table defines parent-child relationships between
configuration records.

The system uses this structure to keep configuration records that normally belong together in
the same application.  
Note:  
Do not modify the Application File Types table as it provides system functionality.

For example, consider the parent-child relationships for a UI policy.  
* The UI policy is a child of the application table.
* UI policy actions are children of the UI policy.
* UI policy actions have a parent UI policy and a grandparent application table.
* The UI policy actions and the UI policy are all descendants of the application table.
