Creating a Context Reference

Your ability to create and modify objects within the Network table depends on the access control rules set at your site. For more information, see Accessing Data.

You must use the Add Context to Network action to create a context reference. If you use the clipboard to copy and paste a context into the Network table, the context is added as an object link instead.

1. Click the add context reference icon

on the Network table toolbar.

Field	Description
Context	Click the find icon to search for the context you want to reference. For more information, see Finding a Context.
Description	Enter a brief description of the context reference.
Location	Use the drop-down menu to select a network structure folder in which you want to store the context reference.
Relation	Use the drop-down menu to indicate the relationship of the context you are referencing to the current context in the network. The types of relationships you can specify vary depending on the solutions you have installed at your site and any customizations made by your site administrators. Basic relationship types include: • Related —The referenced context is related to, but not dependent on, the context. • Dependent—The referenced context contains data that is dependent on the context but is not considered a child context. • Child—The referenced context is a lower-level context that contains information derived from or dependent upon the context. • Parent—The context is a child to the referenced context.
