Connections in Uwazi link two pieces of information in your collection. It could link a paragraph in one document to a separate document or a word to an entity.

To name your connections;

  1. Click Settings
  2. Click on Relationship Types

Add the type of connections. Once you have named them, you can begin to create connections.

Connect properties in two different templates

Uwazi uses a relationship field in templates. This means the targeted entities can be used to ensure only connections to one type of template can be made

  • For example: We have a type “country” and we want to add that property to another type- a person. By specifying the select list “Country”, your users will only be able to use country for this field.
  • A relationship type can be defined as well now.

Relationship fields will now behave as a regular multiselect while at the same time, create particular relationships that will be displayed like this:

You can configure your relationship fields for existing sets of connections to be displayed as a multiselect field like this: These connections were added as they were signatories of a document.
