Configuring Multiple Relationships for a Single Reference Attribute in Organization Entity

  • 1.  Configuring Multiple Relationships for a Single Reference Attribute in Organization Entity

    Hi Team,

    Can a single reference attribute in the Organization entity be configured to support and store information for two different relationships-one between Organization and Organization, and another between Organization and Organization Group? Or do we need separate reference attributes for each relationship?

    Use Case:
    We have two relationship types:

    • One relationship is between the same entity type (Organization to Organization).
    • The other relationship is between Organization and a different entity type (Organization Group).

    We would like to create a single reference attribute within the Organization entity. Our goal is for this attribute to store information relevant to both relationships described above.

    Questions:

    • Is it possible to configure a single reference attribute in the Organization entity so that it can reference and store information for both relationships (Organization–Organization and Organization–Organization Group)?
    • If so, could you please advise on the recommended approach or any limitations we should be aware of?
    • If not, what would be the best practice to model this scenario in Reltio?

    Thanks and Regards

    Kumari Nupur

    Hello Kumari,

    Only one relationType can be configured within the single reference attribute. To reference two relationTypes, you would need to configure two different reference attributes. 

    Can you explain the use case for the below goal.
    "Our goal is for this attribute to store information relevant to both relationships described above."
