Trying to Create a Link from one object to another

I am trying to create a link on a custom object that references another object.  For example:

 

We have a tab called Implementations and I want all the implementations to be associated with an active eval.  How do I do this?   I don't know where to begin with this.  Please help.

It sounds like you want to create a "lookup relationship" with Implementations and Evals. So assuming that one Eval can have many Implementations linked to it, you will add a custom field with a data type of "lookup relationship" on the Implementation custom object. This will ink the two objects and you should see a related list of Implementations on the Eval tab.

Hi John-

 

Thanks for your response.  Actually, I am looking for the link to go to the specific implementation that is attached to the eval.  I did what you are saying and I see the entire list, but I want to only see the implementation associated to the eval.  Make sense?

How have you defined the relationship between the two objects? In other words, how do you know that one eval is connected to an implementation? Is this a one-to-one relationship?

Hi John-

 

No I don't believe I have done that, what do I need to do in order for that to happen?   I want to be able to link an eval to an implementation and am lost.  Thanks for your help.

You should download and read the Force.com Fundamentals book. Especially chapter 3 and 6.
