• Key Concepts: 
  Designated relation is a feature of the SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) PIN Portal Infrastructure component. It allows users to create relationships between different portal objects, such as pages, iViews, and roles. This feature enables users to quickly navigate between related objects and access the information they need. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a designated relation, users must first select the source object and then select the target object. Once the relationship is established, users can navigate between the two objects by clicking on the designated relation icon. Additionally, users can also add additional information to the designated relation, such as a description or a comment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating designated relations, it is important to keep in mind that the relationship is only visible to users who have access to both objects. Additionally, it is important to note that designated relations are not automatically deleted when an object is deleted. Therefore, it is important to manually delete any designated relations that are no longer needed.
