Many-to-many relationships

edited Dec 6, 2019 2:34PM in General 1 comment

Does any documentation exist that outlines best practices with many-to-many relationships?

Here is a specific example of a complication I'm facing:

I have a Course record and an Instructor record. Courses can have multiple Instructors, and Instructors can teach multiple Courses. Hence a many-to-many relationship. So I created a custom record called "M2M: Course - Instructor". This record represents a relationship between a Course and Instructor. It has a Course field to reference the Course, and an Instructor field to reference the Instructor.

Now I want to create a sublist on the Instructor record to list all the Courses they teach. I created a saved search on the "M2M: Course - Instructor" record, with an available filter of "Instructor". The Course field is the only field in the Results tab. Then I created a sublist on the Instructor record that references this saved search, and I gave it a label "Courses".

Howdy, Stranger!
