      Adding and managing participant-to-participant relationships

      This article explains how to create and manage participant-to-participant relationships in Grip. Organizers can define these relationships directly from the Type Settings page, assigning custom names to ensure clarity and organization.

      For MustMeet events, participant-to-participant relationships are automatically assigned as Sharer relationships. This ensures:

      • The Sharer ID is always used instead of the Exhibitor ID, reducing inconsistencies.
      • The Sharer ID is visible on the Profile Edit page for easier management.
      • Meeting locations can be inherited across Sharer relationships, simplifying event setup.

      What are participant-to-participant relationships?

      Participant-to-participant relationships allow event organizers to define how individuals are linked within the event platform. These relationships can be customized with unique names and play a role in networking and meeting management.
