Some types of information within an **Entity details** component can be automatically filtered according to established entity relations.

<details>
<summary>Example</summary>

In this example, when a brand is selected for the product, the *ProductFamily* relation editor filters results to show only families that belong to that brand. For this to work, the following relations must be added to the schema:

| Entity | Relations |
| --- | --- |
| **M.Brand** | Parent of *M.PCM.ProductFamily* |
| **M.Product** | <ul><li>Child of *M.Brand*.</li><li>Child of *M.PCM.ProductFamily*. This relation can be filtered in the entity details component.</li></ul> |

</details>
