Associations
Associations allow you to define how two SmartObjects are related. You can configure associations between two SmartObjects and between workflows and SmartObjects. You can use associations to create drop-down menus, lookup controls, show properties of the associated SmartObject in list views, and use the associated SmartObject properties from the context browser in control values, expressions, rules, and more.
