Change Orders › Create a Parent/Child Relationship

Create a Parent/Child Relationship

Records entered in the system can be related to other records entered into the system. For example, entering a request could result in the entry of two additional requests in an attempt to resolve the original request. The original record entered is referred to as the parent, and the additional records entered as a result of attempting to resolve the original record are referred to as children.

It is helpful to record these relationships between records in the system. The Parent/Child tab on the Change Detail page lists the parent record of the change order (the record that resulted in the creation of the current change order), as well as any children of the change order (records entered as a result of attempting to resolve the change order).
