The relationship manager is a shared panel used from both the Students and Parents pages. It links people together in a workspace-scoped way, such as parent-to-student relationships.

What this screen is for

  • Choose a relationship type.
  • Search for a related person in the workspace.
  • Set relationship flags used by future communication and approval workflows.
  • Review and maintain existing active relationships.

What you can see

Panel framing

When opened from a student, the title looks like Manage Relationships: followed by that student’s name, and the description explains you can create, edit, and end workspace-scoped person relationships for that student. When opened from a parent, the title looks like Manage Relationships: followed by that parent’s name, and the description explains the same for that parent.

Left side: create or update a relationship

Introductory copy explains directional labels and that you can relate the current record to students, parents, or staff. Fields and controls:
  • Relationship type selector, with helper text that relationship types are managed in workspace settings
  • Current record label (direction) selector when the relationship type is not symmetric, with helper text explaining outbound vs inbound labelling
  • Related person area:
    • If someone is already selected, a summary card shows their name, a type badge, optional secondary text, and Clear
    • A search box with placeholder Search students, parents, or staff
    • Helper text explaining staff results are workspace memberships
    • A results list with candidate names, type badges, optional secondary text, and a Selected badge on the active choice
  • Start date calendar picker, with helper text that leaving it blank defaults to today when creating a new relationship, plus Clear date when a date is set
  • Switches:
    • Receives excursion communications (with helper text that delivery wiring is still upcoming)
    • Can approve child excursions (with helper text that this is stored for future excursion flows)
  • Primary actions:
    • Add relationship when creating
    • Update relationship when editing an existing row
    • Cancel edit when editing

Right side: active relationships

A section titled Active relationships explains rows are shown from the current record’s perspective. Each relationship card shows:
  • A relationship label badge from the current record’s perspective
  • The related person’s name and type badge
  • Optional secondary text
  • Summary badges for relationship type, communication preference, approval preference, and start date when present
  • Edit and End actions
States:
  • While loading, you see Loading relationships…
  • If there are no relationships, you see No active relationships with guidance to add the first relationship from the left form

Common actions

Add a relationship

Choose a relationship type, choose direction if needed, search and select a person, adjust switches, then choose Add relationship.

Update a relationship

Choose Edit on an active relationship row, adjust fields, then choose Update relationship.

End a relationship

Choose End. The interface asks you to confirm because ending is a deliberate removal of an active link.

Error states

  • Unable to save relationship when a save fails
  • Unable to load relationships when the list cannot load
  • Unable to load relationship types when configuration cannot load

Permissions and read-only behaviour

Saving, updating, ending, and several field interactions are disabled when you cannot manage relationships. Note: some switches may remain interactive even when saving actions are disabled. If you cannot manage relationships, rely on the disabled save actions rather than assuming switch changes will persist.

Tips

  • Pick relationship types that match your school’s language (mother, father, guardian) as configured in workspace settings.
  • Use Start date when relationships should not appear as active before a certain day.
  • Use the direction selector when the wording must match how your school describes the connection.
