Mapping a Client's Geneology

The Family.Show relationship mapping (genogram) application can be started from the Client Navigation bar. The name of the current client in the Client Details is automatically populated into the genogram. Any details of the client's relationship created within the genogram are saved in the relation to the Client it is opened from. So, separate Genograms can be created for different clients and can only be accessed from that Client's details.
