# Associations

> Everything linked to a record, relations and conversations, in tabs.

## Overview

The **Associations** block gathers everything connected to the open record into one tabbed panel: its conversations plus every related-object relation (Contacts on a Company, Deals on a Contact, and so on). Each relation and the conversations get their own tab, so the record's whole neighborhood is reachable without leaving the page.

## Use cases

* A **Company** record: tabs for its Contacts, Deals, and Conversations in one place.
* A **Contact** record: jump between related Deals, Tickets, and the message history.
* Any record with several relations you'd otherwise scroll past separately.

## Configuration parameters

| Param      | Type     | Description                                                                       |
| ---------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `objectId` | `object` | The object the block is bound to. Set automatically when placed on a record page. |

The tabs are derived from the object's relation properties and its conversations. There's nothing else to configure.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom                        | Likely cause                                               | What to check                                                        |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| No tabs appear                 | The object has no relation properties and no conversations | Add a relation property, or associate conversations with the record. |
| A related record is missing    | It isn't linked via a relation the object defines          | Check the relation property points back to this record.              |
| The Conversations tab is empty | No conversations are associated with this record           | Conversations attach by matching contact / email. Confirm the link.  |
