2.6           Access to associated objects (association)

Access to information for an object associated with the current object.

An association points from one object (source) to possibly many other targets. For example a unit can be assigned to several sheets but not vice versa. In this case the unit is the source and the sheets are the target of the association. Association types differ by their tasks.

A list of all applicable roles is provided by the EB WebHelp in chapter References.
