The TNKids system will provide the ability to easily identify a client ’ s siblings and provide a list of siblings recorded for the client and any sibling related intakes and placements. This will allow the user to see sibling groups without going to each sibling ’ s intake. This new functionality will also allow for the creation of reciprocal relationships. If you add a relationship of a brother to a sister, then the system will automatically create the opposite relationship for the sister to the brother as long as the sister is the client in an open or closed intake in TNKids. If the User deletes a relationship, the system will notify the user that any reciprocal relationships will also be deleted. Overview EXIT
