Relationship Chart

The Relationship Chart tab on the View Asset page provides a visible representation of the asset and assets linked to the asset.  In the example below, the Computer asset is linked to Application and User assets.  The parent of the Computer and User asset types is the Department list.  The parent of the Department list is the Location list. Assets with more than 20 links are grouped in a larger icon (e.g., Application and SCCM Collection assets). The number of expanded relationships is displayed at the bottom of the relationship chart.

Available operations:

• Select the display option of the relationship chart
• View the properties of an asset on the relationship chart
• Expand grouped and ungrouped assets on the relationship chart
• Collapse a selected asset or all assets on the relationship chart
