Business Edge Types

A Business Edge Type defines a kind of relationship that business objects can have with other business objects or with Geo-Objects. For example, a Business Edge Type could link Staff records to the Health Facility Geo-Objects they work at.

Registry Administrators can create Business Edge Types for their organization. Only a System Administrator can edit or delete them.
