Use of Household and Relationships

If the courses are for children or youth, we find people want to track a number of things like:

• emergency contacts
• doctors
• who may pick up the child (or who may not)
• the other parent or guardian in a separated household
• etc.

This is a convenient use of relationships within Theatre Manager. You can set up the child in the parents household record and make associations with other people such as grandparents, etc and define the nature of the relationship.

The advantage of setting the child up in the patrons household means that when they purchase online, the patron can 'gift' the course to anybody in the family using the cart web page and effectively designate which of their children would be taking the course, drama camp, conservatory or what have you.
