As you might already know, Sitecore Content Hub is a powerful content management platform that allows you to manage your digital assets, content, and workflows in one place. One of the key features of Content Hub is its ability to create and manage relationships between different items in your content ecosystem, such as assets, content items, and campaigns.
Configuring relation options in Sitecore Content Hub involves defining the type of relationship between two or more items, as well as specifying the direction of the relationship and any additional metadata associated with the relationship. These relationships can then be used to enhance content discovery, automate content delivery, and streamline content creation workflows.
By configuring relation options in Sitecore Content Hub, you can create a more integrated and efficient content management system, allowing you to deliver high-quality content to your audiences more effectively.
But how can you do this?
Content Hub comes with a Management section. It's in this section that we can fully configure the Content Hub to our needs. This is the place where we can alter our data model to our needs. The data model is called Schema within the Content Hub.
When you first open the Schema page, you'll find a lot of different types, known as entity definition. These definitions are the blueprint of your items, known as entities. Each entity is always tied to one specific entity definition. It's on the entity definition where you make changes to your data model, by adding or deleting members to an entity definition. The schema distinguishes two types of members: Property and Relation. Although Relation can be split up into two as well. So one might argue that there are three types of members. The relation can be non-taxonomy or a taxonomy relation. The difference is predefined configuration when you select one of them.
The property speaks for itself. It's a plain and simple property. The more important thing is the Relation and Taxonomy version. Especially when looking at the Advanced tab on the New member. It contains many different options to configure the relation. More importantly, what is the function of these options? You can find all of them in the documentation of Content Hub. The biggest challenge is knowing where to look. I will make this easy for you. You can find them here: Create a member.
