Edit Contact Card Address

Shared addresses

To share an address, you must have a relationship with at least one user. You do not need relationships with every user who shares the address.

When a change is made to the address in one user's profile, the shared address is automatically updated in the related profiles.

Households

Existing addresses and new addresses can be marked as households, regardless of whether they are shared with other users. Households can have one or more members.

Schools can designate a contact for each household. This enables schools to rely on household addresses for communication purposes. We also recommend entering a salutation for the household ("Smith Family," or "Smiths," etc.) for use with mail merges.

Students can be the household's primary contact. Students can be members of multiple households, such as for divorced or blended families.
Households can include users with the "other" relationship type, such as nanny.

We recommend you include your school's definition of "Household" and associated communication guidelines in your "Policies and Procedures" guide.
