What is a parent-child relationship?

In Rumo, after sending a catalogue, you can define hierarchical relationships between your items, known as parent-child relationships. This concept mirrors series structures, with the series acting as the parent and the episodes as children. The same concept applies to music albums, podcast shows, book sagas, comics albums, etc.

This relationship definition grants you control over recommendation output, allowing you to decide whether to display the parent or child in recommendation lists.
