To create new association you need to first address which topic plays a role in the association. Addressing the player may happen by

  • Opening player topic to closer inspection in topic panel
  • Selecting player topic in topic tree or topic table

As you have addressed the player, start association editor. Wandora has two slightly different editors to create and modify associations. Schema editor expects you have created a special topic map schema for associations accepted for the player. Schemaless editor doesn't make any assumptions and gives you freedom to create any kind of associations. Schema association editor starts with Add to topic > Add association.... Schemaless association editor starts with Add to topic > Add schemaless association....
