Editing

Following SNOMED International rules, you are only allowed to change the status of the relationship. You can do this by selecting a relationship in the table and clicking on the cell you would like to change. Doing so reveals a drop-down where you can set the status to active or inactive.

To delete a relationship, click on the Retire relationship button in the top right corner of the page. Deletion is only applicable to relationships that haven't been released yet. You can inactivate a released relationship using the same Retire relationship button. Alternatively, you can inactivate a relationship by changing its status in the table to inactive This operation is permitted for both released and unreleased relationships.

To add a relationship, use the Add relationship button in the top right corner of the page.

Editing of source relationships is also possible on the Overview Page.
