Use the Create Relationships page to create new relationships between existing parties in the TCA Registry. You can choose to create relationships from three pages:
Overview: Create relationships with a relationship type that is not displayed for the party, which would be the subject of the new relationship.
View Relationships: Create relationships with any of the selected types that you are viewing for the party, which would be the subject of the new relationship.
Hierarchy: Create relationships with any of the parties in the hierarchy as the subject, using the relationship type of the hierarchy.
For example, a relationship phrase pair consists of: Organization is Headquarters Of Organization, and Organization is a Subsidiary Of Organization. If you are working on the party Oracle HQ, you would create a relationship with your party as the subject party and use the appropriate relationship phrase: Oracle HQ is the headquarters of Oracle Branch.
The reverse direction of the relationship, Oracle Branch as the subsidiary of Oracle HQ, is automatically created. You would see this direction of the relationship when you view relationships for Oracle Branch.
You can create multiple relationships between the same two parties, with different relationship phrases, even if relationship date ranges overlap. To use the same relationship phrase for multiple relationships between the same two parties, however, the relationship date ranges must not overlap.
Navigate to the Overview page for the party that you want to create relationships for. See: Searching for Parties and Viewing Results.
Select the relationship type that you want to create relationships for and click the Go button. The available types that you can create relationships for exclude the types that the party is already involved in.
To create relationships with a type that the party is already involved in, you must first view the relationships within that type. This restriction ensures that you review the existing relationships for a type so that you do not create duplicate relationships.
After viewing current relationships, you select the type to create relationships for and click the Go button. The available types include only the types that you are viewing. See: Viewing Relationships.
Suggestion: You can also create relationships for any party in a relationship hierarchy. See: Viewing Relationship Hierarchies.
The Create Relationships page displays your selected relationship type as the type for the new relationship, and the selected party is the subject party.
Select a relationship phrase and object party for the relationship, with respect to the subject party.
Optionally change the start date of the relationship, which defaults with the current date.
If you use the current date, the relationship's start time is the system time. If not, the start time is at the beginning of the start date.
Optionally enter an end date.
The relationship's end time is at the end of the end date.
Click the Add Another Row button to create another relationship for the subject party with this same relationship type. Repeat steps 4 through 6.
Click the Apply button.
The confirmation takes you back to the page from where you chose to create relationships. Your new relationships are reflected in that page.
