The Related Person Is field lets you record details of the type of relationship between the current Person and another related person. For example:
•Business partner
•Child
•Parent
•Sibling
•Spouse
•Team member
When you fill in the Related Person table, the Related Person table in the other person's record will also be updated.
Gendered and non-gendered relationships
You can configure the Related Person Is field (also known as Relationship Type) to allow both gendered and non-gendered relationships.
For example, the term Sibling can have masculine and feminine terms (Brother and Sister). These terms will display if the person’s gender is Male or Female. If their gender is not recorded, or is anything other than Male or Female, the term Sibling will display.
If you want to always show Sibling, regardless of gender, the term Sibling should not have masculine and feminine terms.
Opposite relationships
You can also configure Related Person Is to have opposites. For example, Parent and Child. When you select a relationship term in the Opposite field, that term will also be updated. For example, if you set Child to be the opposite of Parent, then Parent will become the opposite of Child.
