When preparing an application for your clients it is important to gain a full picture of their circumstances, including any dependents. However, remembering the names of your clients’ children helps you build strong relationships and Mercury Nexus makes that task easy.

Dependents can be captured in a few ways from the People record. Either from the Details tab, or by creating a child record in the Relationships tab. Both sections are linked so if you create one, the other will be generated automatically.
