How do I create relations between items in Pure?
In Pure, you can create relations between different types of content (such as publications, activities, projects, or funding) to show that, for example, a publication or activity is related to a specific project. Creating links between projects and research outcomes is becoming increasingly important as funding bodies require more detailed information about outcomes of projects they have funded.
By creating relationships between items in Pure, you will ensure that it is possible for Pure to provide this type of information. It will also mean that you do not have enter the same type of data more than once in different external systems.
Creating relations in Pure is quick and easy. Log on to Pure and find the publication, project or activity you want to link from. Click on the item and a new window will open. Scroll down to the section Relations where different types of content you can create relations to will be displayed.
Choose the type of item you want to create a relation to by clicking on the relevant icon. For example, if you have opened a project, click on the research outputs icon to display all your publications that have been entered in Pure.
Find the publication you want to create a relation to and click on the title – the link to the publication will be created. If you want to remove the relation, click on the minus sign (–) opposite the title of the added item.
You can create relations to as many items as necessary. Please click Save when you have finished adding links.
