• Hierarchy. This indicates a hierarchical relationship, for example between a department and its sub-departments.
• Association. This can be used to indicate any sort of non-hierarchical relationship, depending on your requirements. For example, relationships between Organization Units may be based on factors such as resource or work allocation.In the diagram editor, you can see whether a relationship is hierarchical or not because a Hierarchy is represented by a solid line with an arrowhead, an Association by a dotted line. This difference is controlled by one property of the Organization Unit Relationship, the IsHierarchical property - see Hierarchy and Association Properties. You can edit the value of this property to change a relationship from Hierarchy to Association, or vice versa, simply by checking or unchecking a box on the General tab in the Properties view.
