# Show Relationship diagram

The **Relationship** diagram of a **Model Object** shows all the **relations** of a Model Object with other Model Objects with both **top-down and bottom-up** approaches:

- You can see all the **predecessor Model Objects **(with a Relationship to the Model Object)
- You can see all the **successor Model Objects** (with a Relationship from the Model Object)

### Show Relationship Diagram

To display the **Relationship** diagram of a **Model Object**, access the [**Relationship Overview**](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-relationships-overview?hsLang=en) page:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-09-51-4902-PM.png?width=676&height=494&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-09-51-4902-PM.png)

Click on the **Context** menu for a **Target Model Object** and select the **Show Relationship** option:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-10-15-3301-PM.png?width=678&height=327&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-10-15-3301-PM.png)

The **Relationship** diagram is displayed at the bottom:

![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-23-2024-08-28-22-0680-AM.png?width=688&height=176&name=image-png-Apr-23-2024-08-28-22-0680-AM.png)

A **Warning** notification is displayed on the relevant **Model Object** card if a Business Rule is not respected.

Please take a look at [Understand warnings and errors](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-warnings-and-errors?hsLang=en).

From here, you can:

- Display the legend of the lines by flying over the **information** icon:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-11-40-2050-PM.png?width=401&height=150&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-11-40-2050-PM.png)
- Move a **Model Object** with a Drag and Drop:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-23-2024-08-29-27-0764-AM.png?width=471&height=113&name=image-png-Apr-23-2024-08-29-27-0764-AM.png)
- Display the action menu for each **Model Object**. It is the same as in the [Modeling overview](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-modeling-overview?hsLang=en).   
  In addition, you can also display the **Relationships** for another **Model Object** in the diagram:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-12-44-9033-PM.png?width=295&height=264&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-12-44-9033-PM.png)
- Change the depth view of Relationships:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-14-52-6883-PM.png?width=277&height=51&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-14-52-6883-PM.png)  
    - Depth 1(*Default view*): display the predecessors and successors of the Model Object directly in Relationship to it (level 1)
    - Depth 2: display level 1 and predecessors and successors of predecessors and successors of the Model Object directly in Relationship to it (level 2)
    - Depth 3: display levels 1, 2, and 3

- Center the **Relationship** diagram (if you moved the canvas itself):  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-13-19-6664-PM.png?width=277&height=51&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-13-19-6664-PM.png)

- Add the **Relationship** diagram to the Modeling View:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-13-41-6945-PM.png?width=277&height=51&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-13-41-6945-PM.png)
- Maximize / Minimize the **Relationship** diagram view:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-13-55-2911-PM.png?width=277&height=51&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-13-55-2911-PM.png)

- Close the **Relationship** diagram:  
  ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-14-37-8561-PM.png?width=277&height=51&name=image-png-Mar-27-2024-01-14-37-8561-PM.png)

A **Warning** is displayed on the relevant **Model Object** card if a Business Rule is not respected.

Please take a look at Understand [Warnings on the Business Rules](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-warnings-on-the-business-rules?hsLang=en).
