How are Reference Properties used in a Project Management Application

How are Reference Properties used in a Project Management Application?

In a project management application, you can choose a property from the Project object as a reference in the Task object.
For instance, a Project object may have the following properties: Project ID, Project Name, Start Date, and End Date. In this case, you can choose the “Project Name” property as a reference in the Task object. When the users create a new task, they can select the project name from a dropdown menu, which saves time and minimizes errors.
Furthermore, all the tasks linked to that Project will be automatically visible under the related tab section of the Project object. This helps you track and manage tasks more efficiently.
Reference properties are a helpful feature in object relations. They allow you to choose a property from one Object to show as a reference in another object.
This makes creating records and linking objects easier, reducing the time and errors associated with manual linking. You can create more efficient and effective software applications by understanding reference properties.
