Superfamily

[atd]

Can someone who is using the "superfamily" feature explain how they're using it and what the benefits are? I'm looking at the new features and trying to determine if this would be useful to us or not.

Thanks

Normal families are account based, so they share an account balance (although there are also patient balances within) and generally get one statement. Say you have a married couple that wants separate accounts and statements. Just have two families and put them in a superfamily, that way you know they have some connection but a looser one than a family (financial). Some might also use this for special reasons, like a nursing home superfamily. It is also useful because a popup can now be individual level, family level or superfamily level. In short it associates accounts without sharing financial accounts.
