Tool Search: Relationships

The Relationships tool displays established relationships between people existing in Campus. Relationships include the other individuals residing in the same household as the selected individual and those individuals who may reside in other households but have an association with the selected person (emergency contacts or divorced parents, etc.).

Fields vary by state. Please see your state's State Tools articles for more information on Relationship procedures in your state.

This requires relationships to first be defined by an administrator on the Relationship Type tool. New household relationships are established through the Census Wizard and cannot be added through this tool.

Relationship Fields

Clicking on the link of a listed person's name in the Name column will switch to his/her Relationships record. Changes made to any Relationship field will automatically update the other person to whom the relationship applies.

The person selected in the Search Results and whose name displays at the top of the page is the type of relationship.
The person for whom the relationship is being selected is the second relationship type.

Lucy Student Relationship Display

The following fields define the relationship.

Field	Description
Relationship	Designates the type of relationship between two people. Both people - the selected individual and the name of the person in the row - are affected by the selected. Relationship types are defined for the district in the Relationship Type tool.
Start Date	Date on which the relationship started. This date is not required to save a relationship. But, if a relationship is removed due to a clerical error, and the start date is not removed, a blank entry displays on the student's Summary record. If a relationship ends (emergency contact changes, etc.), an end date should be entered rather than removing the assigned relationship type. In the case where the relationship ends but the person should still display on the reports and summary information, create a Not Applicable or Undefined Relationship Type.
End Date	Date on which the relationship ceased to apply. An End Date does not delete a relationship, just ends it.
Emergency Priority	Provides a visual indication of the listed person's priority for contact in an emergency situation. This is a numeric value. The person that should be notified first should have a 1. If there is no entered priority, the school uses discretion when contacting individuals. Messaging tools do not use this tool when sending mass emails or voice messages.
Guardian	When checked, indicates which person has authority when making decisions on behalf of the student.
Mailing	When marked, indicates that person will receive addressed reports to his/her attention.
Portal	This checkbox should be marked if the listed person should have access to the Portal information of the person currently being viewed.
Messenger	This checkbox should be marked if the listed person is considered a messenger contact for the person currently being viewed. If marked, the listed person will receive phone, email, process inbox and/or Portal inbox notifications regarding the person currently being viewed. In order to receive messages, a person must have phone numbers and/or email addresses entered for them in Census > Demographics, along with contact preferences.
Private	Indicates the details should be kept within school settings. Marking this checkbox does not remove the information from reports. See the Private Checkbox Information article for more details.

Create Relationships

The Relationships tool lists a connection between the selected person and other persons, either within a household or outside of a household. Emergency contacts, grandparents, day care providers, etc., can all be listed here as the district desires.

Modifying information for one member of the relationship also modifies the information for the other member of the relationship. For example, if a relationship to a new non-household guardian is added with a specific start date for a student, that selected guardian will be assigned a non-household relationship with the student using the same start date.

Household relationships should be added on the Households editor.

Establish Relationships in the Primary or Secondary Household

Before establishing relationships, verify the primary household is complete to the best of your knowledge.

Edit Relationships

When a relationship needs to be modified, meaning contact guidelines need to be modified, the relationship needs to be ended or the relationship type is wrong, make the necessary changes and save the information.

Deleting a relationship should only be done if the original instance of the record was completely incorrect.

Use the End Date fields to modify the date range of when the relationship was in effect. This goes for any contact guidelines as well. If a guardian relationship is no longer due to custody activities, end date the existing relationship where the guardian is considered the student's guardian and create a new record for the person (if needed) where he/she is not considered the guardian.
