Creating, configuring and managing relations between issues is the key feature of STAGIL Assets - Advanced Links for Jira. Advanced links Links are connecting two relation custom fields and therefore two issues, which contain the connected fields. Connecting issues that way with Advanced Links offers you many possible use cases, which will be covered in the course of this documentation with a focus on CMDB, CRM and HR.
The main idea of all use cases is to show information with their relation(s) between each other, for example, linking devices like laptops, monitors and mobile phones to the belonging person (CMDB use case) or connecting contact data to an organization (CRM). Relations Advanced Links can be configured and shown in graphs/panels/tables. These topics are covered in the following sections.

Relations Advanced link with two relation fields: If you want to link content from both sides, you would create this type of relation. In this case you have the information available on both sides. For example: You link a contact with an organization. If you are opening the contact issue, you can see, to which organization he/she belongs. Vice versa: If you open the organization issue, you see all related contacts.
