Shared by Product • July 22, 2025

Overview We've renamed the "Parent" identity to "Family" identity to make it clearer and less confusing when you're working with different types of family relationships in your system.

Why this change helps you Previously, having both a "Parent" identity and a "Parent" identity type with the same name was creating confusion, especially when setting up target lists and filters. Now it's much clearer!

What's changed The main identity category that was called "Parent" is now called "Family." This better represents all the different types of family relationships you can assign to people in your system.

Family identity now includes all these relationship types:

  • Parent
  • Guardian
  • Aide
  • Relative
  • Parent (Other)

Where you'll notice the changes When you're editing a person's profile or setting up target lists, you'll now see "Family" as the main identity category. This makes it much easier to understand that you're working with family-related identities, and then you can choose the specific type of family relationship that applies.

Better filtering and targeting This change makes it much simpler to create target lists and filters for family members. Instead of wondering whether you should select "Parent" (the identity) or "Parent" (the type), you'll now clearly see "Family" as the category and can choose the specific relationship type you need.
