Relationships table
The following tables show how objects may be related to other objects by creating a relationship in the Relationships tab for that object.
RACI relationships can additionally be assigned to resources in the object's primary (left-most) tab.
Where supported (see the table below), both tree items and recently viewed breadcrumb entries can be drag and dropped to the Relationships page to create relationships
⚠️ SAP functionality is retired. Existing SAP objects are retained, though new SAP objects and connections may no longer be made. ⚠️
Simple relationships (Symmetrical)
This table can be read left to right, or right to left, depending on which relationship you are interested in

Complex relationships (Asymmetric)
This table should be read left to right. Unlike the simple relationships documented above, the relationship targets can vary based on the source object type.

Objects in the repository can have Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed (RACI) relationships with other objects:
- Responsible: Performs the work, or responsible for doing the work.
- Accountable: Supervises the work, accountable for the work being done.
- Consulted: Helps perform the work, consulted on how to do the work.
- Informed: Uses the outputs of the work, the audience informed about the work.
