Select an option to define how to handle relationships between identical query nodes or self-relationships in the query results. A self-relationship is a relationship that leads from a query node to itself.

• Allow All Relationships. All relationships appear in the query results.

• Allow Self Relationships only. Only self-relationships (a relationship that leads to itself) appear in the query results.

• Allow Non Self Relationships only. Self-relationships do not appear in the query results.

Select Show element in query results to include query results relating to a join or compound relationship. By default, this option is selected. When the check box is cleared, a Hidden in Query Results indicator appears to the left of the relationship's name in the editing pane, denoting that any query results pertaining to the relationship are not displayed in the topology map.

Select this option if you want the system to stop looking for TQL query results once it reaches the first target in the path.

In the following sample compound link definition, Depth is defined as 10 and Stop at first compound level is selected.

The TQL query results include the Target 1, Target 3, and Target 4 because they are all at level 1 (the first CI found in the path). Target 2 is not included in the TQL results because it is at level 2 (the second CI found in the path).
