In Ripple, participants can be grouped together using a Family ID. When participants share the same Family ID, they will appear in each other’s Family section at the bottom of their participant profile card.
To streamline data entry and reduce errors, Ripple allows users to import a participant’s family member’s contact information into another family member’s Contact Methods section.
