The Connected People Types preference is used to record a list of connected people types in the system. These are found when adding a connected person to a patient. The choice of values are selected using an autocomplete or dropdown list.
The default build does not have this field, so the example below shows where it would usually appear (between Contact Details and Pedigree Numbers).


The table of Connected People Types will display the code, name, and status for the connected people type.
When adding or editing a connected people type, users are presented with the below form to complete. Always press Save in the bottom right-hand corner of the browser after adding or editing a connected people type.

A unique code for the connected people type. This can be the same as the name but must be unique throughout the entire system.
A name for the preference. It is advisable to keep this unique.
A checkbox to activate/deactivate an entry. If the preference is not active, it will not be selectable in any drop-down lists.
