Family Management
FaithAdmin lets you link individual profiles into family units, making it easy to manage households and communicate with entire families at once.
Creating a Family
- Navigate to Families from the sidebar.
- Click Add Family.
- Enter the family name (typically the surname).
- Add family members by searching for existing profiles.
- Click Save.
Family Roles
When adding members to a family, you can assign roles:
- Primary Contact -- The main point of contact for the family. Communications addressed to the family go to this person.
- Family Leader -- Head of household designation. A family can have multiple leaders (e.g., both parents).
- Member -- Standard family member (children, extended family, etc.).
Linking Existing Profiles
You do not need to create new profiles to build a family. Search for and link any existing profiles in your directory. One profile can belong to only one family at a time.
Managing Families
From the family detail page you can:
- View all family members and their roles at a glance
- Edit the family name or primary contact
- Add or remove members
- See combined family activity (attendance, giving)
