How-To: Use the Related Contacts Section
Within the Related Contacts section of the contact record, you can view the names of all of the contacts linked to the contact you are currently viewing, along with their role (e.g. parent, inquiry, enrollment, etc.) and relationship. The primary parent will be noted with an orange (P) icon and the financially responsible parent(s) will be noted with an orange ($) icon.
Click any of the names to quickly jump to that contact's record in the system. You can also click the relationship listed in parentheses to change it if needed.
