Comments
How do you change the name of someone's next of Kin? For example if their daughter gets married. The only way I can find to do it is to delete the next of Kin and add them again which seems crazy. There must be a way to just change the name.
Hi Sam, I'm afraid you would need to delete and re-add.
That is crazy and such a waste of time, having to enter everything again, when we purchased Arbor we were told it would save us time, but this is proving not to be the case, so many processes are duplicated.
agree Sam
