Using the Relations Panel

When you select a system or an operation, the Relations panel displays all the relations with the other objects in the current session. The Relations panel is a floating immersive panel that can be fixed on the screen at chosen size and position or it can be moved around like a dialog box. The size and position of the panel are saved between sessions.
