Adding a person or a household

Add a family in one go, or one person to an existing household.

Who can do this: Administrators and staff

People are kept in households: everyone who lives at the same address. Adding a household lets you put in the whole family at once.

  1. Step 1: Add a new household

    Go to People and choose Add household. Fill in the address once, then each person: first name, last name, and whether they’re an adult or a child. Email, mobile and birthday are optional.

    Choose Add another adult or Add another child for each member of the family, then choose the button to add them. Only a first and last name are needed: you can add more detail afterwards.

    The Add a household page, with an address section and a Person 1 section asking for first name, last name, adult or child, email, mobile and birthday.

  2. Step 2: Or add someone to a household that’s already there

    Open anyone in the household and choose Add someone to this household in the Household box. This is the quickest way to add a new baby or someone who’s moved in.

    Caleb Begum’s record, with contact details on the left and a Household box on the right listing four people and a link to add someone to the household.

  3. Step 3: Fill in their details

    On their record, choose Edit details to add a title, the name they go by, former names, contact details and their birthday. You can mark an email address or mobile number as private, so it’s never shown in the member directory.

    The Edit page for Caleb Begum, with boxes for title, first name, known as, middle names, last name and former name, and contact details below.

What happens next

Address and home phone belong to the household, so they’re changed on the household page. See Updating details when someone moves.
