Multiple professions for one person linked to multiple organizations
May 03, 2013, 05:20:15 pm
Hi All,

Can I ask you your advice here.

For one of my customers I have the following case: One person is linked to several organisations with the relationship function. For each of these orgs this person has a different role. Like e.g. Org1:Director, Org2:Accountant, Org3:Trainer.Each organisation is of course also linked to other persons with other multiple responsabilities. As the registration form for persons has just one "Profession" field, what would be the sollution here ?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Sarnat.

Can you clarify what you mean by "registration form" before I jump to conclusions?

By "registration form" I mean the entry screen for contacts where you can enter firstname, familyname, actuel employer, profession,...
I updated my profile. The CMS is Drupal 7 and CiviCrm is 4.2.7

hi - may be a translation issue - so to confirm

civicrm has a 'current employer' field which is a relationship plus (ie a relationship with some extra coding)

by default you can only have one 'current employer'

but you can have several 'employers' via the 'employee of' relationship

i am not too sure about the 'profession' field - maybe this is called 'position' or 'job title' in default civicrm

again civi only provides one of these.

if you want to have multiple 'employee of' relationships you can use the 'description' field to add their 'position/job title'

to do this I expect you would need to set up a webform-civicrm form so that people could enter multiple employees  with different 'job titles' in the description field

not sure if that gets you where you want, but is where i would head

hth
