With parent-child relationships in place, ExtraView will display only the appropriate choices on the add and edit screens. This vastly simplifies screen layouts and shortens pick-lists to the context of the process at hand. The administrator can establish multiple parent-child relationships among many types of fields. This process ensures that only valid data combinations can be entered. Allowed value relationships can be chained together.
