About parent-child relationships between competency structure elements

When you create a complete competency structure you must first create the elements that make up the structure and associate those elements together. Associated elements have a parent-child relationship. For example, if an activity is associated with a learning objective, the activity is the child and the learning objective is the parent.

If you want to create more complex structures (for example, a learning objective associated with two competencies in different levels of a nested structure), consider creating all of your elements first before adding parent-child relationships.

You can create the following element associations:

Element	Parents	Children
Competency	Other competencies	Learning objectives Other competencies
Learning Objective	Competencies Other learning objectives	Activities Other learning objectives
Activity	Learning objectives
