What are relation types?
Relation types define how two actors can be linked to each other. A relation type describes the connection from both sides and indicates whether it is a one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many relation. The types are used when you create relations directly on an actor.
System-defined relation types are delivered with Sapera and cannot be deleted or renamed via the system name. You can, however, edit the display name and the roles on them.
How to access the screen
From the hamburger menu in the top-left corner of Sapera, open Financial. In the left menu, select Actors → Relation types.
If you cannot see the menu item, you probably do not have permission to access it. Contact support.
