relation-type

Defines a named relation type. Relation types allow you to classify relations between content items. You might, for example, define a content-type with the relations "article-image" (intended for an image to be displayed with a content item's body) and "teaser-image" (intended for an image to be displayed in a content item's teaser). In CUE content item editors these relation types will appear as two drop zones labelled "article-image" and "teaser-image". A drop zone is an area in which the CUE user can drop content items (in this case the images he wants to appear in these locations).
