man... that is the best blog on contacts that I've ever read!

The tooltips or alt text coerced me into commenting.

Seriously, though, these docs will help whether you're just now starting a Contacts Management system or if you've had one in place for awhile now.

Great and extremely helpful article.

Does F1 ever plan on implementing biological kinship ? i.e. Aunt Bee is Mary’s sister.

ACS has this feature called “Other Relationships” where you could add a person’s name from the database with relationship type. It then would add those changes in both records with the Reciprocal Relation to the other person’s record. Just another great feature that also makes the world a lot smaller.

tgrace,

Go to http://experience.fellowshipone.com/ideas/idea/archive/2008/03/14/show-secondary-family-relationships-for-people.aspx and click on 'Praise It'. Doing this will cause the idea to "bubble up" to the surface of the ideas bank which will then trigger the Development Team to include it as a future feature.

tgrace,

We've had a lot of requests for those secondary relationships. I think that would be an excellent idea, and really helps to know how people are related when trying to build those personal relationships with them.

Thanks for the response. I’m going to try to have our whole staff login and praise this Idea.

I don’t know how many have had the scenario where you did not offer condolences to someone who has lost a love one only because you didn’t know they were related. It has happened to me, and I’m sure it has happened to our Pastors, and it is by far the worst feeling.

The power of social networking is seeing how everyone is linked together. Not that we need or want to link friends. But linking family members would be a huge benefit. I hope fellowship sees the benefit too. :)
