Organizing with Parent and Child Tags

As your church grows, you may need more structure in how you organize people. Parent-child relationships let you nest tags, groups, or teams inside each other.

How it works

You can place a tag, group, or team inside another one to create a hierarchy. For example:

• Small Groups (parent group)

  • North Side Home Group (child group)
  • South Side Home Group (child group)
  • Downtown Home Group (child group)

• Youth Ministry (parent team)

  • Youth Worship (child team)
  • Youth Leaders (child team)

Setting up a parent-child relationship

1. Open the tag, group, or team you want to nest.
2. Edit its settings and choose a parent from the dropdown.
3. Save the changes.

The child now appears indented under its parent in the list view.

Good to know

• Parent-child relationships are for organization only — they do not automatically assign people. Being in a child group does not put you in the parent group.
• You can nest multiple levels deep, but keeping it to two levels (parent and child) is easiest to manage.
• All three types — tags, groups, and teams — support parent-child nesting.
