What are asset relations?

Asset relations are used to define associations between asset types - for example, between movie and trailer assets, or competition and team. Once you've created your asset relations, operators can use them to curate and surface dynamic content in your apps by using them in list rules. 

Administrators can create and manage asset relations by going to Admin → Settings → Asset Relations. Configured asset relations display here with asset icons.
 
Below you can see the relation display name in bold on the left-hand side. To the right of the page, the icon(s) representing the source asset type (relationship from) is on the left of the arrow, with the related asset type icon (relationship to) on the right.
 
In the Teams asset relation (first line), persona, competition, confederation, event, program, and stage asset types can all be related to team assets.

Once you've created your asset relations, their display names will appear as tabs within Asset → Items → Related. You can only add asset types that have a relation to the selected asset.
 
For example, take a movie asset, as in the example below. For you to be able to select and add related persona assets (i.e., cast and/or crew), asset relations first need to be set up between your movie and persona asset types. Without this, personas won't appear as an option as they do here.
