What happens to child objects and associative objects when you uninstall an application in Relativity?

When an application is uninstalled in Relativity, both child objects and associative objects are typically deleted unless there are dependencies that restrict this deletion. Child objects are objects that are hierarchically dependent on the parent object defined by the application, while associative objects are often used to create relationships between different data objects.

During the uninstallation process, Relativity checks for any dependencies related to these objects. If there are no dependencies—meaning that these objects are not essential for any other components in the workspace—both child and associative objects will be removed to maintain the integrity and clarity of the data environment. If dependencies exist, these objects may be retained to ensure that linked data remains accessible and functional.

Thus, understanding this relationship and the role of dependencies is crucial for effective data management within Relativity, as it ensures that important relationships and data integrity are preserved when applications are being modified or removed from a workspace.
