This page lets you create and view associations between resource types.
Each association forms a child-to-parent relationship between two resource types.
The association adds a field to the child resource for specifying a parent resource.
For example, to associate a non-network printer with a computer, create an
association where the printer is the child resource and the computer is the parent.
The association adds a field to the printer resource that lets you specify the
associated computer.
