Related Objects Information Tables
Object information pages display tables of information related to the selected object. The types of tables that display vary according to the needs of your site and the object type. When you customize or create a new tab, you can select additional tables to view.
The tables available under Customize > Related Objects provide information on any other objects that have a relationship with, are affected by, or affect the object you are viewing. Available tables, listed alphabetically, are described below.
* 
Depending on the object type, user access, and the software you have installed, certain tables might not be available options. For more information, see Understanding Data Accessibility.
Individual user, context, and site-level preference settings might also affect the table options available to you. For more information, see Preference Management.

Alternate For
Parts for which the selected part is an alternate.
An alternate for a part can replace another part in every assembly, as opposed to a substitute, which can replace a part in a specific assembly only.
The Two-Way column on the Alternate For table indicates that the parts can act as alternates for each other. If a user changes the alternate relationship from two-way to one-way in the Alternates table, the change is reflected in the Two-Way column.
For more information, see Managing Replacement Parts.
Alternates
Alternates for the selected part.
An alternate for a part can replace another part in every assembly, as opposed to a substitute, which can replace a part in a specific assembly only.
You can use this table to manage and select alternates. For more information, see Replacement Tables on Information Page Tabs.
Annotations

Common enterprise data consists of attributes and related objects that are shared across all revisions and iterations of a particular master. View-specific enterprise data consists of attributes and related objects that are shared across all revisions and iterations of a particular view. For more information, see About Enterprise Data
