How to import Alias in individual relationship on a constituent record.

@Naila Asif:

I have imported new incoming students along with their parent/s information. I need to add power school id in RE, which I was able to import on the student record but did not find any option to import or update aliases on parent/s in relationship tab without being a constituent by themselves.

Also need to know if address on individual relationship can be imported at the same time when importing the new student record. I had to do the import without address on relationship tab and later update the address but it did not update the address city, wondering why?

Thanks,

Naila

@Naila Asif it has been a little while since I've done imports like these, but I checked the knowledgebase and found this article. It implies that you can import relationships and their addresses at the same time you import a new constituent.

Relationship Alias is not a field that can be imported.

@Naila Asif
when importing new relationship… relationship import id is not required.

it is only needed when you import an “update” option that RE needs to know which relationship record you want to update therefore the need for relationship import id

@Naila Asif
same import you can do new constituent that has a new invidiaual relationship.. don't need the import id column unless you want to specify you own (I advise against this usually).
