Relationship Connection Appearance Properties

Selecting a relationship in a View means that you can edit or view additional visual properties in the Properties Window. Different visual settings can be applied to a relationship for each separate occurrence in a View. For example, the relationship "Used By" may be coloured black in one View, and blue in another View.
