Relations View
The Relations View displays relations involving a selected participant. The
relation view is displayed whenever a pariticipant is selected in the participants
view.
When a participant in the Particpants View
is selected, each line in the Relations View represents
a relation between the selected participant and any other participant in the
concern. If a participant in the Interactions
view is selected, each line in the Relations View

the other concern.

locations. Right-clicking
on a relation brings up a pop-up menu supporting various actions. The pop-up menu
actions are different based on the status of the relation. The available actions
