Select the One-to-many relationship type and then select a Parent

Or, select Many-to-many relationship type and
then select:
- Junction Object: When modeling a many-to-many relationship, select a junction object to connect the two objects you want to relate to each other, for example, Contact.
- Parent Node Lookup Field: A field from the junction object that points to the parent node object, for example, Account Name.
- Object Lookup Field: Select a field from the junction object that points to this node’s object, for example, Contact.
-
To configure how the node is shown on the record page, click the
Display tab,enter a label (for example, Contacts), and save your
changes.
When the Many-to-Many relationship type is selected, the node object and junction object fields appear in the sequence specified in the Cross-Object Field History Graph builder.
