# Link version management and change management

You combine version management and change management by setting up relationships between requests and item revisions or the baselines containing item revisions.

You can use the following relationships:

Relationship | Description
--- | ---
Affected | Changes described in the request affect the related revision of the item or baseline.
In Response To | The item revision or baseline that was created deals with the related request.
Information | The item revision or baseline contains information pertaining to the request, or the request contains information pertaining to the contents of the item revision.

The Change Management rules control the actions that can be performed on requests and items and the relationships between them. You set up these rules in the Administration Console. For details, see the Administration Console online help.

Relate requests

You can specify a system-defined or a user-defined relationship between requests.

The system-defined relationship can be:

Relationship | Description
--- | ---
Dependent | Requests that are dependent on other requests for closure.
Info | Requests that point to other requests.

The user-defined relationship is set in the Administration Console. For more details about relating objects, see the following topics:
