Link a work item to another in Collaborative Work Management (CWM) to show how they relate, whether one is a
prerequisite for another or they are generally connected.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sn_cwm.cwm_user

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Relationships are added from the Relationships tab on the work item form in the side panel. You can link work items across Boards and Spaces, and a single work item can have multiple relationships. For
an overview of the available relationship types, see [Task dependencies and relationships in CWM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/j_l0fRfDXzg56Mapk9FHxw "Increase visibility into how work is connected by linking work items directly in Collaborative Work Management (CWM), eliminating the need to track dependencies in spreadsheets or notes fields.").

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to WorkspacesCollaborative Work Management.
2. From a Space, select a Board.
3. Select a work item to open it in the side panel.
4. Select the Relationships tab.
5. From the Prerequisite, Dependent, or Related to section, select Add more.
6. Search for the work item by name and select it.  
7. Select the Save icon (![]()) to save the relationship.

## Nächste Maßnahme

After adding a relationship, a relationships indicator icon appears on the work item's Kanban card. Select the icon to view all relationships for that work item from the board.

If a relationship doesn't apply
to your task anymore, you can remove it. For more information, see [Remove a dependency from a work item in CWM](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/aHYV5bI_8A8BdWJZvLG3Nw "Unlink a relationship between work items in Collaborative Work Management (CWM) when it is no longer relevant or was added incorrectly.").
