You create multiple element references to establish a relationship between an element and other elements in the hierarchy.
-
In the Elements browser, right-click an element and click New > Add Element Reference.
Note that you can also select an element and drag it to the parent.
-
In the Add Element(s) window, click the Find Multiple Elements button.
-
In the Element Search window, select search criteria to locate the desired elements and click the Search button.
The search results field shows the results of your search.
-
Select the elements that you want to reference and click OK.
-
In the Add Elements window, select the reference type. If you are not sure what reference type you want, you probably want the default reference type, parent-child. See Understand reference types for more information.
-
Click OK.
The referenced elements are displayed in the browser. The referenced element icon
indicates that they are references.
