The functionality allows to identify the relationship between registers made to CRM, such as suspects, prospect, customer, contacts, competition, suppliers, partners, opportunities, proposals, sales orders, invoices, products, price table, sales process, sales representatives, business unit, sales team, campaigns and events.

The connection centralizes information on a relationship between an entity and other and facilitates queries. You can use this feature to attach information from one customer to another by entering the connection function. For example: partner, shareholder, influencer, etc.

If a function is not found that fits to its needs, it is possible to register other connection roles and relate them to corresponding roles, i.e., connect the role Uncle/Aunt to the corresponding role Nephew/Niece.
