==Items with Data Subsets==
Certain items have subsets of data that are contained within them. For example, an MRE may have MRE details such as the MRE type, total audience, and percentage of women and men. The MRE details data requires the MRE to exist. Table 3. Parent/child relationships lists the items and the data subsets that depend on them.

The process for creating a report on a parent item and its children is similar to the process for creating a report on locations and their associated items. The key difference is that the main report will contain the attributes of the parent item. The sub-report will contain the attributes for the child item. For example, if you were trying to create a report of MREs and their associated MRE details, the main report would contain the attributes for MRE and the sub-report would contain the attributes for MRE details.

==Reports on Linked Items==
Part 4 of this training module discussed direct relationships—relationships where the parent item must exist in order for the child item to exist. In this part of the training, you will learn about linked relationships. Linked relationships are optional relationships which may exist between items. Unlike direct relationships that are enforced during the IMSMA reconciliation process, links are optional. Accidents, hazards, hazard reductions, MREs, and QCs may be related to one another via ''links''. For example, a victim may be associated to an accident in a particular hazard. If these relationships are known, IMSMA users may define these links while reconciling the field report.
[[Image:iRep21.png|center|500px|''Figure 21. Direct relationships vs. Links'']]
<div align="center">
''Figure 21. Direct relationships vs. Links''
</div>
The process for creating a report on an item and its linked items is similar to the process for creating a report on items with a direct relationship. The item in the main report is the primary item for which you would like to find linked items. The sub-report would return the records for the particular item that is linked to the primary item. The key difference is the query used in the sub-report.
If you would like to report on different items that linked to the item in the main report, you may create a new sub-report for each linked item. For example, to create a report of hazards and the accidents and hazard reductions that are linked to those hazards, you would create the main report on hazard. This report would then contain a sub-report to list linked accidents, and another sub-report to list linked hazard reductions.
====Part 1. Create a report with attributes for a primary item====
