Manage relationships
Contacts - View, Add and Edit Contacts
You can specify the relationships between contacts (this is different to organising them into contact groups).
Once you have set up the relationships between your contacts, you can see who is linked to who in the Contacts Relationships tab. You will also be able to access relevant parties without having to search for a related contact or memorise relationships. For example, if you have specified Simon Black as a shareholder for ABC Pharmacy, you will be able to see this relationship in Simon Black's profile and in ABC Pharmacy's profile.
You can record the relationship in either direction.
The type of relationship you can record depends on the entity type of a business. The table outlines the types of relationships you can record for each entity type.
