Adding a time-limited relationship
Relationships are a central feature of CiviCRM. For example, you may run an organization that has contacts related to it because they are volunteers, or you may have individual contacts that are the children of other contacts who are their parents. Some relationships are time-limited. For example, the chair of an organization may have a one year fixed term of office.
