Creating a Product to Classification Link

After creating a product to classification link type, you can add that type on an object's References or Referenced By tabs.

To maintain data on the References and Referenced By tabs, refer to the References Tab topic and the Referenced By Tab topic in Getting Started documentation.

  1. To add a product to classification link to either the References or Referenced By tab of an object, use one of the following ways to find the product to classification link type in a section:
  • If the link type has been added to an attribute group, it appears under a section that is named the same as the attribute group.
  • If the link type is not in an attribute group, it appears under an 'Ungrouped Classification Links' section, as shown in the image in the next step.
  1. Click the plus sign button in the desired link field. If more than one link is allowed for the link type, the plus sign button continues to display after the first link is added, otherwise it is removed.

  1. In the Select Classification Product Link dialog, find the object that is to be linked, and click the Select button. If you know the target ID / Name of the object, use the Search tab to find it quickly using the typeahead functionality to display the options as a dropdown.

Once selected, the object displays as an added link.

  • To remove a link, click the X button.

Displaying a large number of links

If more than 50 links of the same type are added, a button labeled 'More...' () displays, allowing users to expand the list, and view 50 additional links.

Repeatedly clicking the button doubles the number of links shown each time, until the full set is displayed. Note that if new links are added, they display on the list immediately indicating that they were added properly, though normal functionality will resume if the user clicks the 'More...' button again. This means that items may become hidden until the list is fully expanded.

After the list has been fully expanded for the given link type, it stays expanded until the user refreshes the page, or clicks away to another object in the workbench.
