Track Relationships

Relationship Tags

Set up tags for relationships between profiles.

By assigning relationships between profiles, you can see how people in your church are connected. First, create the tags you want to use for relationships, then add the appropriate relationships to profiles. You can always change the tags or add new ones as needed. Note that both individuals must have a profile in order to add a relationship.

Here's an example situation where relationship tags are useful: You track "Grandparent" and "Grandchild" using tags, where both the grandparent and child have a profile in your church. You can quickly see a list of those tagged for an upcoming Grandparents' Day celebration.

Create a Relationship Tag

Add a new type of connection.

  • To create relationship tags, you'll need the Manage Relationship Tags permission.
  • To add relationships on profiles, you'll need the Edit Individual permission.
  • To view relationships on profiles, you'll need the View Details for Individuals permission.
  • For more information, see Responsibilities.

Relationship tags are used to describe the connection between the two profiles. There are some default tags available, but you can add any others as needed.

  1. In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Realm. Then click Profiles > Settings.
  2. On the Relationship Tags tab, click Add Tag.
  3. Enter a tag name, such as "Godparent" or "Neighbor".
  4. Click Save.

Apply a Relationship Tag to a Profile

Make a connection.

  • To add relationships on profiles, you'll need the Edit Individual permission.
  • Both individuals you want to connect must have a Realm profile.
  1. Locate and open the individual's profile. You can start from either profile.
  2. Click the Relationships tab.
  3. Click Add Relationship or edit an existing one.
  4. In the modal, search for and select the profile that this individual has a relationship with.
  5. In each drop-down list, select the appropriate relationship.
  6. Click Save.

The selected relationships display on the Relationships tab of both profiles.

Manage Relationship Tags

Change a relationship tag.

  • To change relationship tags, you'll need the Manage Relationship Tags permission.

Relationship tags can be edited or merged at any time. You can delete a tag as long as it is not being used on profiles.

  1. In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Realm. Then click Profiles > Settings.
  2. On the Relationship Tags tab, click to highlight the tag(s) you want to change.
  3. In the Select an action drop-down list, you have several options:
    • Rename—Enter a new name for your tag and save.
    • Delete—This option is only available for unused tags. If you select multiple tags to delete and at least one of them is being used, a message indicates which ones can and cannot be deleted. When ready, confirm that you want to permanently delete the listed tags.
    • Combine similar tags—Select the tag you want to keep. All others will be deleted, and any notes using them will now have the combined tag.
