Adding the Same Family Extra Value to Multiple Families¶

In most cases, as those above, you have a specific Family Extra Value for each family. You create those by going to the record of one family member Profile > Family Extra Values and click the button to add one.

However, for some very specific use cases, you can use the blue Toolbar > Gear > Extra Values > Add Extra Values from either Search Builder results, an Organization, or a Tag and add the same extra value to every member of each family represented all at one time. You must check the box Add to Family Record Instead of Person for the extra value to be added to the family instead of the person. Regardless of who is in your search results, organization, or tag, that Family Extra Value will be added to every member of the family.

Obviously, for the examples above, you would need to go directly to that family to add the Family Extra Value.

Displaying Extra Values on Inreach / Outreach Report¶
