Many to many relationships

Good morning,

 

I thought I'd ask this question in case there was a standard way to implement many to many relationships.

 

What is the best way to represent many to many relationships within salesforce. I'm used to simply creating a new table to store both IDs, but don't know whether this is efficient in salesforce and the simplicity (if possible) of using a case for page layouts etc.

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Lloyd

You are doing perfect. Salesforce recommends junction object having two master-detail relationship field for many-to-many relationship.

HI, I've set up a junction object for many-to-many relationship for two custom objects - Managers and the customers they are responsible for. I can add the manager to the customer, and visa versa manually, but I have 400 customers that I need to add with corresponding account managers. How can I upload the many to many relationship fields with the import to custom objects wizard? The junction object I created does not display in the list of custom objects in the import wizard. The two custom objects are listed, and I can import the records, but not the relationship fields?

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you.
