You can add relationships to an IDEF0 chart. You do this with help from the connector line IDEF0 relationship on the stencil IDEF0 Chart Shapes. IDEF0 charts relate to inputs, controls, outputs and mechanisms, or ICOM for short.
1. Use the (automatically chosen) IDEF0 chart shapes stencil to create relationships between topics.
2. Drag the IDEF0 relationships symbol to the drawing and attach it the right-hand side of the first topic. The relationship becomes red as soon as the topic is attached.
3. Mavim opens a screen in which you can choose the topic that the relationship represents.
4. Then attach the other end of the relationship. The position in which you attach the relationship decides which type of limitations are recorded. The possibilities are:
Left = Input
Above = Control
Right = Output
Below = Mechanism
5. After the chart has been saved, the relationships in Mavim are visible in the Relationships screen:
