Hi all,

I'm wondering if there's a way to assign a contact to have relationships with multiple other contacts by batch, or by group. Example:

1. We have 85 organizational contacts

2. John Smith is a volunteer for us. We want John to have a permissioned relationship with all 85 contacts.

3. But now we have to individually click each separate organization to create the relationship.

4. There are 8 other "John Smiths" I have to do this for, and that's a lot of clicking

I'd love to be able to perform an action like, "select all 85 organizations that are members of this group," then simply add that relationship to John Smith's record.

Thanks for your insights.

Thanks for the tip on exporting/importing, Pete. That may be what I need.

Hi Pete

I'm not seeing an option to assign relationships when importing contacts. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
