Hi
I have been asked to set up Departments within organisations that may have one or more individual contacts within that Department, a subset of the organisation. They also want there to be a main contact in each department, Finance HR Policy etc. I could set up a relationship for each department but this would not differentiate between main contact in this dept and others. Is there a better way of doing this or would it require a lot of custome code??
