Jama Connect User Guide

Relate to an existing item

Many times, the items you want to relate have already been added to Jama Connect. You can relate items that exist.

Recently viewed items is the default view, but you can also use the Explorer Tree, Releases, or Search tab to find the items you want to relate.

To relate an existing item:

  1. View the items to be related in List View, Trace View, or Reading View.

  2. Select the items you want to relate. All selected items must be the same item type.

  3. Select Relate to existing.

A relationship is added to the selected item in the direction defined by the relationship rule. It is then immediately visible in the bottom panel of the relationships view. If you establish a relationship that is not defined by a relationship rule, you are prompted to select a type.
