It's designed as counter part for every Related Items element in your ZOO applications. This new element solves the problem and adds the missing link to ZOO. This sounds stupid, but has to do with the way elements are stored and handled in ZOO. So when you want to see all articles for a specific author, you again have to assign them manually with another Related Items element in the Author type: It's hard to believe, but the Related Items element only points from the child to the parent. If you think, you did something wrong - unfortunately not. When you click the author, you would expect to see all his articles. When you open the article, the assigned author is displayed as expected: You created articles (Article type items) and authors (Author type items), and assigned the specific authors to the articles with the Related Items element, as provided by ZOO: Let's say, you are in ZOO's Blog application. If you want to see all related items from the parent's point of view, you again have to manually assign them to the item. There comes the time, when every ZOO user stumbles over it: The element Related Items is a one way street.
