Relationships
Not to be confused with relationships/connections as found on the interface level, relationships on the schema level are programmatic.
That being said, relationships are very user-friendly; you don’t need to be a database system administrator expert to use and configure relationships between entities. Microsoft Dynamics CRM supports the following relationships:
• 1:N relationships (one to many)
• N:1 relationships (many to one)
• N:N relationships (many to many)
You can add as many relationships as you want and can also add more than one relationship to the same entity. For example, you can have a custom entity called Customer and add two fields called Primary Contact and Secondary Contact—both related to the entity Contacts.
