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.

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.

1. Add a Business Object to a mApp Solution using the Add Business Object to mApp wizard.
2. Open the Relationship Properties window:

      Tip: You can also click the Edit Relationship button on the mApp EditorToolbar to open the Relationship Editor.

   2. Click a Relationship, and then click the Edit button.
3. Set the Relationship to Merge:
