  2. Select Edit.
  3. Select the Details Tab.
  4. Select Related To -> and remove the displayed client number.
  5. Select Save. (Requires Security System: Profiles -> Client -> Edit access.)
  6. Select Exit.

After all sub-clients are removed, the original primary client can now be reassigned.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I assign more than two clients to a related client group?

I really like the new client linking "related to" option - but it's limited to one?
We have some clients who own two commercial companies, plus we have their house - so we would have 3 individual client files for them (business, commercial landlord, and personal lines house)?

Answer

A group of related clients can have an unlimited number of members.

Instead of pointing the primary/master client to one of the subsidiary/child clients, create the relationship going the opposite direction.

  1. Establish which client is the master/parent client. Do not assign a related client value for the master/parent client. (The master/parent client should have its own client number in the related client field.)
  2. Open a child client's profile and relate the child to the parent.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each child client.
