Create a new link relationship object

By default, a number of default Link Relationship objects are available to select for your forms. These Link Relationship objects make fields available to use in your form's data links. If you want additional data objects to be available to your forms in order to store or retrieve information to/from a wider range of objects, you can add a new custom lookup.
