On instances that do not meet the internet browser requirements for the latest CI relations formatter, the default CI form includes the legacy CI relations formatter instead.

This element contains the list of related CIs and a toolbar with controls for viewing the relationships between the current CI and related CIs. For information about the latest CI relations formatter, see CI relations formatter.
