Hi @PaulK, thanks for posting!
It seems like there’s a couple of requests tied up in here. Let me make sure I’ve got them straight:

documentation on how to use the social relationships functionality
seems to be missing values from the relationship type dropdown, including Alpha
guidance on use of the Descriptor field

Did I catch everything? Did I understand what I picked up on?

Thanks Tanya
You are correct in your breakdown.

Probably the Alpha issue is a bug while the rest are Support.

Good to know! I’ll get the documentation you’re requesting up on the wiki today, and I will provide the link here by close of business.

Are any other relationships missing?

tanyastere · June 18, 2020, 11:49pm

Alright, here is the link for the documentation: Marked Individual | Wild Me Docs

Also, the ability to assign an Alpha is present and working within ACW. To assign an alpha, or any other role that is a role as related to the group, such as scout, use Social Group Membership.
Sorry for the misinformation earlier. At this point, I think we have everything documented and I have confirmed the functionality, so I am going to mark this as resolved. Let me know if there’s anything that I missed though.
Thanks!
Tanya
