Medical Centre Maintenance - Contacts tab

Use the Contacts tab to view and maintain contact details for primary and additional contacts, particularly parents. You can add as many contacts to the student record as necessary.

Note: The Medical Centre Maintenance - Contacts tab is identical to the Contacts tab in Current Student Maintenance. See Current Student Maintenance - Contacts tab in the Current students manual.

Note: Emergency contacts and debtors are not necessarily contacts.

SC1 contact
The SC1 contact is the person or couple most important to the student, usually one or both of the student's natural parents. Synergetic uses the SC1 contact to create a family structure, which is displayed on the Siblings tab. All students who share the same SC1 contact are shown on the Siblings tab. See SES (Socioeconomic status) parent extraction settings in the System maintenance manual.

Note: Synergetic requires every student to have an SC1 contact. If a student does not have an SC1 contact you will receive the following error message upon closing the window.


If Primary is not selected, creating an SC contact who is:

• a parent adds the SC contact and their partner to the @PC constituency
• not a parent, adds the SC contact and their partner to the @SCOC (student contact other contact) constituency.

Note: If Primary is selected, only the primary contact is added to a constituency. That is, if the student's contact has a spouse, the spouse does not receive the @PC or @SCOC constituency.

Creating an emergency contact adds the contact to the @SCEC constituency. See Community Maintenance - Constits tab in the Community manual.
