Viewing the valid end types for a link

You can check the types of entity that are allowed at each end of a particular type of link. You cannot change the types of entity, as they are fixed in the definition of the link types in the database design.

About this task

Knowing the valid combinations of entities that can be added to a link is useful information. For example, it can prevent you trying to create invalid link type and end entity type combinations.

Note: It is the combination of End 1 and End 2 types that matters, not the ends they are at or the link direction. For example, there would be no difference between these two examples:

  • An Account entity at End 1 and a Person entity at End 2

  • A Person entity at End 1 and an Account entity at End 2

Procedure

To view the valid end types:

  1. Locate the required link type.

  2. Right-click the link type and select End Types.
