Each project type may have one or many relations to other project types which can be defined in the project type settings.

Define Project Relations¶

Open the settings of a project which should be related to another project having the project type which again is the subordinated project type of the underlying project.

There is a checkbox selection on the project setting page where you can define the relation between the project with other projects. Select what is appropriate.

Navigate to the project overview. You will find an additional box showing the newly defined relations.
