Viewing object relationships

You can view relationships among Service Request Definitions (SRDs), Process Definition Templates (PDTs), application templates, and Application Object Templates (AOTs). This information is helpful, for example, if you are planning to merge data on import, and there have been changes to a PDT. Viewing relationships to the PDT before an export will help you understand which objects might be added, updated, or removed in the import environment.
