Links
The tab shows the table of objects that are linked to the currently selected object in the tree. You can customize the table as needed.
The tab is part of the ALVAO Configuration Management module.
Table Views
By default, the table contains the following views:
- Direct - display only direct links, i.e. links whose starting or ending object is the directly selected object in the tree.
- Is used - display a list of objects by which the selected object in the tree is used, see link type Is used - Used.
- Uses - display the list of objects that the selected object is used by in the tree, see link type Is used - Uses.

Direct and indirect links
For example, the following links exist between objects A to E:
A -> B -> C -> D -> E
If object C is selected in the object tree, then the B->C and C->D links are direct because they directly emanate from or point to object C.
links A->C and C->E are indirect because object A is indirectly linked to C via object B. Similarly, object E is linked to C indirectly via object D.
