Connecting each member of a group to all the other members in relationships

@Sarah Thompson What do you hope to achieve by linking everyone to each other? It sounds like a lot of work to do and to maintain.

If you want to see them as a group, you might want to consider a record for “Volunteer Group ABC” and then link each record to this organization record. IMO, it would be a lot cleaner, easier to create and easier to maintain.

@Sarah Thompson
You can do this with an import, don't need to do them manually.

I recommend what JoAnn said, unless there are some reason you need the volunteer relating to each other, which you can use import.

if you got volunteer A,B,C,D, then your import will have these rows, in math, that's just calculating combination

A relates to B (which also means B relates to A using recipricol)
A relates to C
A reletes to D
B reletes to C
B reletes to D
C reletes to D

@Sarah Thompson
the import isn't particular a complicated import, the “complicatedness” is creating the combination of Constituent Import ID, which if you google it, there may be tools that does combination for you based on a list of values you have.

@Sarah Thompson

If you just want to be able to identify the members of a group you could either link all the records to a single record or create an attribute.

For example, you could create a record for “Volunteer Community A” then link each volunteer to that record as a relationship. Then you could see everyone in that community without linking them directly to each other. This is a much simpler import.

The other option is to add a constituent attribute. Then you could create a query to pull all records with that attribute to get the list of members.
