Defining stakeholder relationships

Simply Stakeholders allows you to link Stakeholders with other Stakeholders and record the relationship they have with each other.

The ways in which we can link stakeholders are;

  • Individual to Individual - Used to display relationships such as Family, Neighbor, Spouse, Colleague etc

  • Organisation to Organisation - Used to display the relationships between Organisations such as Parent Company, Corporate Partnership etc

  • Individual to Organisation - Used to display/link the employees and their position within the Organisation

  • Organisation to Division - Used to display different divisions/departments within an Organisation

  • Stakeholder to Property - Used to display the stakeholders relationship with the Property

The predefined list of relationships needs to be setup by an Administrator, once setup any user can update the stakeholders.

  1. Navigate to the Admin Settings

  2. Tracking & Data Organisation > Stakeholder Relationships

  3. Select the Record Type, either Individual or Organisation

  4. Input the New Relationship Name at the top of the page and click Add

    Well done, you have now created your predefined list of Relationships.


    Once the relationship options are set up by an Administrator, users can link stakeholders and manage/change their relationships by:

  1. Opening the Stakeholder you wish to edit

  2. Locate the Relationships section

  3. From the Network Map view you can link stakeholder Relationships and build out your visual network map

  4. From the List view you can create/edit Relationships
