Clicking on the menu item will take you to the list of Relationships currently set up on the system, if there are any. Relationships are one of the lists that can be specified on pre-implementation spreadsheets (the initial data for your system, provided to Charitylog at the very start of implementation)_ so it is likely that there will be some options here.

Personal relationships and Carer relationships are created and used separately because that's reality! Someone's carer may or may not be personally related/connected to them another way, so Charitylog makes it possible to store information about these links separately.

Notice that sometimes you will need to think about both "sides" of the relationship. For example,  if you are going to log the fact that people have Wives, you will also need to provide a way to log the fact that people have Husbands. On the other hand, "Neighbour" works both ways, so there is no "opposite" relationship needed here.

The Relationships feature is useful for general information about people - even if you don't specifically work with related people, it can still be useful to know who is related to whom.

Using Relationships, these customers can store information about links between their clients.
