Contact Relationship
There are two main ways to track contact relationships:

1. Implied Relationship is automatically calculated by the development module based on a contact's connections to students, inquiries or staff. Typically these relations are entered at the point of admissions or hiring and automatically show in development module.

2. Contact-to-Contact Relationship tracks relationships between contacts such as business/owner, business/employee, child/parent. You have an option to select Contact Address, Contact Primary, or Contact Secondary for each side of the relationship. Example: 

Name Address / Primary / Secondary Relationship Inverse Name Inverse Address / Primary / Secondary Inverse Relationship Note
Alvarez Family Address Parent John Alvarez Primary Child John is a son of Mary and Alex Alvarez who are recorded as Alvarez Family. John is recorded as a primary contact of another Alvarez Family contact.
Mary Alvarez Secondary Owner IZ Corp Address Business Mary Alvarez is a secondary contact in Alvarez Family contact. She owns IZ Corp.
