When do you use a Sibling field or record… November 6, 2006 at 7:09 AM #16327 community-content A sibling is related to another node like: <root> <base> <something> In this example, the something node is a sibling to the base node. It is also called a Parent – Child relationship. Hope this helps. November 6, 2006 at 3:17 PM #16335 community-content not sure I agree with this. <root> <base1> <something1> <base2> <something2> <something3> <base3> In the above, the siblings are: base1, base2, base3 …. also, something2 & something 3 are siblings. Base1 & Something1 are parent/child. so is Base2 & Something2. Think of a sibling as "brother/sister"… not parent/child. November 7, 2006 at 6:34 AM #16346 community-content Not sure what I was thinking. You are right. Siblings are brother \ sister records. November 7, 2006 at 10:06 PM #16355 community-content Yeh Stephen….he is right Sibling means children of same parent. I mean Root1 Parent1(Record)-Child1(Field Element) Child2(Field Element) Parent2(Record)-Child3(Field Element) Child4(Field Element) Now here Child1 and Child2 are sibllings and Child3 and Child4 are siblings. Child1 and Child4 are not siblings as they are not children of same parents. Hope you find it useful.
