Define Merge Actions for Relationship Auditing Properties

Use the Auditing page in the Relationship Properties window to define whether or not to overwrite how changes to child object records are tracked in the parent object's history records.

The Relationship Properties window is available in the Relationship Editor (accessed from within the Object Manager in the mApp Editor).

Good to know:

  • You can only configure separate merge actions for individual Relationships and Relationship properties if the Business Object is set to Merge in the Business Object Properties window (mApp page). If the Business Object is set to any other option, or if Include in mApp is unchecked, then you cannot configure separate merge actions for individual Relationship properties.
  • For more information about defining auditing properties for a Relationship, refer to Define Auditing Properties for a Relationship.
