Link Parent and Child Companies

    Link companies into a parent-child structure so you can see a whole corporate group — deals, people, and activity — from one profile.

    The rules, up front:

    • A structure can be three levels deep: parent, child, grandchild. No deeper.
    • Each company can have only one parent.
    • No loops — a company can't be its own ancestor or descendant.
    • Access to a parent gives you access to all of its subsidiaries automatically. No extra permissions needed.

    Set a parent company

    1. Open the child company's profile.
    2. In the company details, find the Parent company field and select the parent.

    Or, from either profile:

    1. Click Actions in the top right corner.
    2. Select Add a Parent Company.
    3. Search for the company, or create a new one.
    4. Click Confirm.

    Set a child company

    1. Open the parent company's profile.
    2. Click Actions and select Add a Child Company.
    3. Search for the company and link it.

    What you see on a parent company

    Children Total and Won Deals — all open deals across children and grandchildren, plus the total value of everything won from subsidiaries.

    Deals — every deal belonging to the parent and its subsidiaries, filterable and paginated.

    Activity Feed — activity from the parent and its subsidiaries together, with a filter to narrow to one company.

    People — contacts across the entire family of companies.

    Children Companies — every linked child and grandchild.

    Click the three dots in the Children Companies section to see the hierarchy as a diagram.
