People Relationships
The system can store information about relationships between people in the system. For instance,
parent-child relationships can be stored. To add a relationship between two people, use this menu.
Campus Community > Personal Information > Biographical > Relationships
1. Enter the ID number of the person you want to start with (the student usually). If no rows are
found, that means this person does not have any relationships defined in the system.
2. Click Add a New Value.
3. Bring up the first person in the relationship (usually the student).
4. On the Relationships tab:
a. Enter the other person’s id (e.g., the parent) in the Related ID.
b. Enter the appropriate relationship (Mother, Father, etc.). (The reverse relationship will
automatically be created.) 1
5. Add new rows as necessary for more relationships. Use the Add button not the plus icon.
1 PeopleSoft can deduce certain reverse relationships. For example, if Elizabeth is set as the mother of Charles,
then Charles will be automatically set as the son of Elizabeth. However this only works for some relationships; not
all reverse relationships can be deduced. For example, sibling relationships will not be automatically entered when
children are added to parents.
