What are Cross References in Cradle?<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Cross references are links between items in the database. They are how you show that an item is dependent on another item in some way. For example, one item may satisfy another item, or an item may be a decomposition (a child) of another item.<\/p>\n

How are Cross References created?<\/h3>\n

Drag and Drop<\/h4>\n

You can select a group of items in a tree and then drag and drop them onto another item. Cross references will be created from the item that you dragged onto, to the items that you dragged.<\/p>\n

Link Facility
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

You can select an item and choose Make Link From and then select another item and choose Make Link To. A cross reference is created between the items. This is available from the right click popup menus, and Item menus, and has the advantage that it can be used anywhere:<\/p>\n
