VIDEO: How Relationship Behaves

You select Content Items based on the Query Filter of the Field. On assignment, you must provide information about the relationship between the assigned and the original content. The underlying relationship schema defines which relationship information you must provide.

Batch Actions:

• Download all related Content Items
• Add all related Content Items to basket

Related content items can be downloaded all together or placed all together in the basket for further processing, e.g., editing or sharing. Additionally, each individual item can be downloaded directly or added to the basket.

Relationship Fields are not available in Batch Editor! You can not edit a single or multi relationship in the Batch Editor batch edit mode (only in single edit), nor Excel Roundtripping App. You can easily edit them via API. 

Furthermore, Content Items or List Items cannot be sorted based on Relationship fields. 
You cannot add Relationship Fields to filters in the Content Browser or List Browser.

Note: You can set the search settings (search, index) for the relationship field. However, the Content Browser search only delivers results for the Content Item, whose metadata matches the search. The Content Browser does not deliver related Content Items. 

Picturepark does not use the Display Pattern on the Relationship Schema. 

All relationship information in the view mode of a Content Item is hard-coded and does not consider Display Patterns.

One item can be related. Examples are:

• one employee image for a person
• one hero shot for a campaign
• one logo for a company

Multiple items can be related. Examples are:

• different angles of a product (for example, front view, top view, side view)
• featured images in press kits
• screenshots for FAQ
• related or featured products

Inside a relationship field, the Content Item permissions apply. For example, if you have a user who cannot view a Content Item in a relationship field, they will get this view:

However, double-clicking on that field will allow them to view the relationship details - when the layer is visible thanks to the View for all permission for the relationship schema.

On a Content item for a product, you might have a Relationship field for product photos. In your relationship schema for this field, you might have a single field for View that is, in turn, assigned to a List that provides the Front, Top, and Side values.

When a user relates a photo to the product Content Item, the field for View will appear, enabling the user to define the context of the related image. When the Content Item was published, this contextual information would be available.

Another valid approach is to use the Relationship field to relate creative files. Whether you are linking the zip package or individual files is up to you. 

In addition, your relationship schema could include fields for Caption or any other context information about the related content.

• Finds all Content Items with a Logo assigned in the Relationship Field "Corporate Logo."

Single:

• targetId (related item)
• targetDocType (type of related item, e.g. content)
• relationType (Id of the relation selected)
• sourceDocType (original item)
• Field ID from relationship schema
• Value in field 
  Multi: Array
• targetId (related item)
• targetDocType (type of related item, e.g. content)
• relationType (Id of the relation selected)
• sourceDocType (original item)
• Field ID from relationship schema
• Value in field

The Name setting is available for various items in Picturepark, for example, fields, schemas, and business rules. This value defines what appears in the Picturepark interface. You can change the name anytime and translate it into any configured metadata language. To add a translation for the name, select Add.

The ID fieldis the ID of your field, which is used to link to this field. The field ID is always lowercase. The field's ID is set when creating a new field using camel casing. You need the field ID for the configuration of filters or display patterns. 

The ID is automatically created from the name you insert: 

• Example: You insert the field name "My NeW fielDs #1 Purpose?
• Automatic Id: myNeWFielDs1Purpose

Select the default view for related items:

• List
• Thumbnail small
• Thumbnail medium
• Thumbnail large

Show the related Content Items in the download window.

The Boost factor field setting will boost the values in the search and help you define the relevance of the content for your users. The boost parameter increases the relative weight of a term (with higher boost values) or decreases the relative weight (with lower boost values), but the increase or decrease is not linear. In other words, a boost of 2 does not result in double the score. You can select between 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, or 500. 

• Boosting in a list is for the search in fields while tagging.
• Boosting in layers is for the content browser search.

Picturepark checks this setting against the allowed number of Search-indexed fields in your subscription plan. While it may be tempting to include all fields in filters and simple search boosting them, you may revisit this idea based on your subscription plan limit.
