Parent Query
A parent query in a connected query is a query that has one or many child queries. The top level query in a connected query is the parent query.
Child Query
A child query in a connected query is a query that has a single parent query. A child query can also serve as a parent query if it has one or more child queries in the Connected Query definition. A child query can have one or more sibling queries.

Sibling Query
A sibling query in a connected query is a child query that shares a parent with another child query
Mapping Query Fields

Mapping query fields establishes the filtering relationship between values of selected fields in a child query and the corresponding fields in the parent query.

EXAMPLE Parent Query Person Name
EXAMPLE Child Query

Persons Phone Numbers EXAMPLE Sibling (also a child) Query Persons eMail Addresses

Keys and Foreign Key Pieces of data (fields) that define the relationship between Parent information and Child information EXAMPLE: Employee ID
