Relation metrics

Relation metrics differ from diagram, symbol, and definition metrics in that they are pieces of internal functionality that retrieve information on the relationship between two System Architect Objects in the encyclopedia. For each relation metric, you must declare which two objects should be examined and what relationship exists between them. Depending on which relation metric is being use, only certain System Architect objects with specific relationships are valid.
