Get From Another

From the PERSON DETAIL screen:

Get From Another:

The GET FROM ANOTHER button is extremely helpful if you are adding a sibling to the system for the first time. If you have added all the relatives in this case to one sibling and want to add them to a second sibling, instead of adding all the relatives individually, you can GET FROM ANOTHER and copy the relatives into this person.

  • Click GET PERSON NAME.
  • Do a NAME SEARCH on the sibling that has relatives already listed.
  • Click UPDATE and the relatives will all be added to this case. You will need to make certain the the “lives with” and the “custody status” is the same, it may need to be changed.

To Add a Relative:

  • Relative: Click on GET RELATIVE NAME. Do a NAME SEARCH on the relative. If they are not found, you will need to add them. How do I add a Person? When you have added the person to Quest, click on CANCEL to return to this screen.
  • Relationship: Select the relationship of this relative to the person listed above.
  • Lives with: Does this relative live with the person? Yes or No
  • Custody status: If the person is a child, and you are adding a parent, select the appropriate custody status choice. If you don’t know, leave it on select.
  • Place name at top of list: Yes or No
  • If the person is a child, they may have a lot of relatives listed. You should put the custodial parent’s name at the top of the list so they are easier to find.
