# What can I see in the Families directory and on a family's page?

> Find a household under Athletes > Families, filter for families that need attention, and see what a family's page shows your staff.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Athletes > Families needs the View Families permission.** Without it the sidebar item is hidden, and a direct link to the page shows "Your account does not have access to the family directory."
  * **Use the Needs attention filter** to find families with **Open requirements** or **Pending invitations**.
  * **A family's page shows its family tree**, who has shared access, any missing requirements, and the family's answers to your **Family questions**.
  * **Staff can view families here, but family membership is changed by the family itself.**
</Note>

**What it is.** **Athletes > Families** lists every family with an athlete at your club. The header reads **Families**, "See each athlete's family, relationships, and access."

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Athletes > Families">
    The list opens as a **Table** on a computer and as **Cards** on phones and tablets. Use the view toggle to switch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search">
    Type in **Search families, guardians, or athletes...**. It matches a family's name, a member's name or email, or an athlete's name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter">
    Select **Filters** and pick from the options below. **Clear filters** removes them.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a family">
    Select a row or card. The family's page opens.
  </Step>
</Steps>

| Filter | Options |
| - | - |
| **Guardians** | **All families**, **Has a guardian**, **No guardian on file** |
| **Athlete status** | **Active**, **Inactive**, **Trial**, **Graduated** (an athlete at your club in that status) |
| **Needs attention** | **Open requirements**, **Pending invitations** (either one matches) |

**The columns.** **Family**, **Guardians**, **Athletes**, **Requirements** (missing requirements still open at your club, such as "2 open"), **Invites** (invitations the family sent that are still waiting, such as "1 pending") and **Created**. Sort by **Family** or **Created**.

**On a family's page.** The header shows the family's name, with a **Families** link back to the list.

* **Family tree.** Everyone in the family, with person and athlete counts. Switch between **Tree**, a diagram you drag to explore, and **People**, a list. Select a person to see their relationships and access, and use **View athlete profile** or **View guardian record** to open their record.
* **Shared access.** People outside the household who can access one of the family's athletes, with **View all permissions** for each. For staff the card reads "Shared access can be updated from the family owner's guardian portal."
* **Missing requirements.** Always shown to staff: each unmet family requirement and who is missing it, or "No missing requirements. Every family requirement is met at this club."
* **Family passes and punch cards.** What the family holds at your club.
* **Athlete charges.** Recorded purchases at your club, shown only to staff with **View Financials**.
* **Family questions.** The family's answers to your club's family-level custom questions, when your club asks any. Staff with **Edit Families** can select **Answer questions** or **Update answers**.

**Other ways in.** An athlete's **Overview** tab has a **Family** section with **Open family**, plus a switcher when the athlete is in more than one family. On **Athletes > Directory**, the **Family** column links each family. A missing-requirement alert links to the family with **Open the family**. Old links to the family requirements page open this directory.

**What staff can't change.** Staff get no buttons here to add or remove members, add relationships, rename the family or change shared access. The family's owner or a co-manager does that in the family portal. An athlete's edit panel has no guardian field either. Its **Family access** box links to **Review family connections**.

**Coaches.** Coaches at your club have their own **Families** page in the coach portal. It lists the same families and doesn't need **View Families**.
