<p>This module aims to provide generic means to model relations between partners.</p>
<p>Examples would be ‘is sibling of’ or ‘is friend of’, but also ‘has contract X
with’ or ‘is assistant of’. This way, you can encode your knowledge about your
partners directly in your partner list.</p>

<div class="section" id="relation-types">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Relation Types</a></h2>
<p>Before being able to use relations, you’ll have define some first.
Do that in Contacts / Relations / Partner relations.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_list.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_list.png" />
<p>A relation type has a name for both sides.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_empty.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_empty.png" />
<p>To have an assistant-relation, you would name one side ‘is assistant of’ and the other side ‘has assistant’.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_name_filled.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_name_filled.png" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="partner-types">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Partner Types</a></h2>
<p>The <cite>Partner Type</cite> fields allow to constrain what type of partners can be used
on the left and right sides of the relation.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>In the example above, the assistant-relation only makes sense between people, so you would choose ‘Person’ for both partner types.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_partner_type_filled.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_partner_type_filled.png" />
<ul class="simple">
<li>For a relation ‘is a competitor of’, both sides would be companies.</li>
<li>A relation ‘has worked for’ should have persons on the left side and companies on the right side.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you leave these fields empty, the relation is applicable to all types of partners.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="partner-categories">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Partner Categories</a></h2>
<p>You may use categories (tags) to further specify the type of partners.</p>
<p>You could for example enforce the ‘is member of’ relation to accept only companies with the label ‘Organization’ on the right side.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_category_filled.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_form_category_filled.png" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="reflexive">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Reflexive</a></h2>
<p>A reflexive relation type allows a partner to be in relation with himself.</p>
<p>For example, the CEO of a company could be his own manager.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_reflexive.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_reflexive.png" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="symmetric">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Symmetric</a></h2>
<p>A symetric relation has the same value for the left and right sides.</p>
<p>For example, in a competitor relation, both companies are competitors of each other.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_symmetric.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_symmetric.png" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="invalid-relation-handling">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7">Invalid Relation Handling</a></h2>
<p>When the configuration of a relation type changes, some relations between 2 partners may become invalid.</p>
<p>For example, if the left partner type is set to <cite>Person</cite> and a relation already exists with a company on the right side,
that relation becomes invalid.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_invalid_handling.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/relation_type_invalid_handling.png" />
<p>What happens with invalid relations is customizable on the relation type.</p>
<p>4 possible behaviors are available:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Do not allow change that will result in invalid relations</li>
<li>Allow existing relations that do not fit changed conditions</li>
<li>End relations per today, if they do not fit changed conditions</li>
<li>Delete relations that do not fit changed conditions</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="searching-partners-with-relations">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Searching Partners With Relations</a></h2>
<p>To search for existing relations, go to <cite>Contacts / Relations / Relations</cite>.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/search_relation.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/search_relation.png" />
<p>To find all assistants in your database, fill in ‘assistant’ and
autocomplete will propose to search for this type of relation.</p>
<img alt="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/search_relation_2.png" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/partner-contact/12.0/partner_multi_relation/static/description/search_relation_2.png" />
<p>Now if you want to find Colleen’s assistant, you fill in ‘Colleen’ and one of the proposals
is to search for partners having a relation with Colleen.</p>

<div class="section" id="searching-relations-from-partner-view">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9">Searching Relations From Partner View</a></h2>
<p>A smart button is available on the partner form view to display the list of relations.</p>
