[Relationship Modeling](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/application-modules?hsLang=en#relationship-modeling) # Add a Relationship in the current Relationship Modeling View ### Add a Relationship To add a new **Relationship** between 2 **Model Objects** or 2 **Business Concepts**, there are two possibilities: 1. [Add a Relationship from the Relationship overview](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/add-a-relationship?hsLang=en) (description in another article - **available only for Model Objects**, not for Business Concepts) 2. Add a Relationship in the current Relationship Modeling View (in this article): Access the [**Relationship Modeling overview**](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-relationship-modeling-overview?hsLang=en) page and display a View where the two relevant Model Objects or Business Concepts are displayed: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-Oct-17-2023-08-54-56-3067-AM.png) Hover over the **plus** icon for the **target Model Object** or the **target Business Concept** of the **Relationship**,then click, maintain the click, and drag the Model Object: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-14-17-8044-AM.png?width=1572&height=348&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-14-17-8044-AM.png) The **plus** icon of the **target Model Object** or the **target Business Concept** is now **blue**, all the **possible source Model Object** (or all the Business Concepts) for a Relationship are **highlighted,** and their **plus icon** is **visible**: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-16-36-2481-AM.png?width=1572&height=348&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-16-36-2481-AM.png) The potential **source Model Object** we can use for a **Relationship** to a **target Model Object** depends on the **Generator Configuration**. Here, we can add a **Relationship** from a **Model Object** of type ***Link*** to a **Model Object** of type ***Hub***. For Business Concepts, we can link all with all. Drop the mouse on the **target Model object** or the **target Business Concept** for the Relationship: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-17-39-7436-AM.png?width=1566&height=320&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-17-39-7436-AM.png) The new Relationship between the two Model Objects or Business Concepts was created: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-18-04-9357-AM.png?width=1556&height=321&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-18-04-9357-AM.png) A notification confirms the correct addition: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-Oct-17-2023-09-04-49-0517-AM.png) You can now map your **Foreign Key**(s) in the [Term Mapping page](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/map-a-source-term-with-a-target-term?hsLang=en) by choosing the **Manage Term Mappings** menu in the **Context** menu for the **target Model Object** of the **Relationship**: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-18-34-6277-AM.png?width=1533&height=484&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-08-18-34-6277-AM.png) ### Demonstration video   -
