Family Details

Kinship stores many details of the families that it stores and manages. This is where you can view and edit those details.

Wherever you can select a specific family in the Kinship website, for example on the library detail screen, that family can be clicked on and you will be taken to the family details page. 

This page allows the display and editing of the details of the family.

At the top of the screen is the name of the family. If the family is approved it will have a green check mark to the left, if not the check mark will be greyed out.

Clicking anywhere on the name will toggle the approved status.

On the left of the screen is the summary information for the family. As you move the other screens on the family details page, this sidebar will remain in view.
