2. To remove a related item, select the item and click Remove.

3. To add a relationship, click Add.

4. In the Relate Object dialog box, specify the following details:

   Field | Description

   Relationship type | Select the type of relationship between the request and items: Affected, In Response To, or Information.
   Relate to | Browse to select one or more items to relate. In the Find Item wizard, specify the criteria to search for items, and then select one or more items from the results. SHIFT+click to select a range of items. CTRL+click to select multiple non-consecutive items.
