Viewing Projects and Project Relationships

To view relationships between opportunities, project requests, and projects, select a project request on the Project Requests page, and click the View Relationships button. The Relationships page enables you to view and navigate the associations between opportunities, project requests, and projects.

You can view relationships between opportunities, project requests, and projects, depending on how many project requests you create for an opportunity.

For every opportunity, you can have a maximum of two project requests (one pursuit request and one delivery request). Each project request can be converted to a project. Therefore, each object can have a maximum of five related objects.

The following table shows the possible related objects for each object.
