Editing Relationships

Use the Edit Relationship page to edit a selected relationship for the party that you are viewing relationships for. This party is the subject party, which, along with relationship type and object party, cannot be changed. What you can update in the relationship are:

Any changes that you make to the direction of the relationship with your party as the subject applies to the opposite direction of the relationship. For example, the direction you are editing is: Oracle is the employer of Joe. If you end this relationship, Joe as the employee of Oracle also ends.

Suggestion: You can also edit hierarchical relationships by moving parties within the hierarchy of a relationship type, which changes the object party. See: Updating Relationships by Moving Parties in a Hierarchy.

  1. Navigate to the View Relationships page for a party with the relationships that you might want to edit. See: Viewing Relationships.
