Linking and Unlinking Subjects

Link subjects to record how people, vehicles, locations, items, and businesses on the same case are connected.

Create a relationship

  1. Create both subject records on the case if they do not already exist.
  2. Open one subject and find Linked Entities.
  3. Select Link.
  4. Search for and select the other subject.
  5. Choose the appropriate Link Type. Available types depend on the categories of the two subjects.
  6. Select Link Subject and confirm that the relationship appears.

For example, a person can be linked to a vehicle as its Owner or Driver, to a business as an Employee, or to another person as a Spouse or Associate. Record supported facts and choose the relationship from the perspective of the subject you opened.

Remove or correct a relationship

  1. Open the subject and locate the connection under Linked Entities.
  2. Select the unlink control for that subject.
  3. Review the confirmation and select Unlink.
  4. If the connection needs a different type, create a new link with the correct type.

Note: Unlinking removes the relationship, not either subject profile. Creating links requires the appropriate edit permission; removing links requires the appropriate delete permission.
