Where to model the relationships
It is important to model the relationships and set determinants on the objects in the Framework Manager model, but an important consideration is where this modeling should take place.
If you allow Framework Manager to create the relationships for you during the import process then the relationships will be created in the Import (or Database) layer of the model. If you create the relationships or add determinants manually, then you are free to create them in any layer of the model. However, best practice dictates that they should be in the Import or Database layer of the model.
Tip
Wherever you create your relationships and add determinants, do this only in one layer of the model.
