Client hierarchy > The Is Parent? toggle

Whilst creating a new Client in Mercury, there is now the capability to clearly mark and view if that record is a Parent client or a subsidiary.
From within a Client record, there is now a simple toggle which allows the Client to be clearly labelled as either a Parent company or a Subsidiary of a company.
 
NOTE: The default is set to Subsidiary.
 
 

Why

 
The essence of the feature is, for example:
 
Parent Client A has Rachel Green working there as an HR Officer.
Client B is a separate Client record which has Client A linked as it's Parent company.
A Vacancy comes up and Rachel is the Hiring Manager for it, but the Vacancy will be based at Client B's address.
The Vacancy will therefore be created via Client B's record.
Because the two records are linked, Rachel can be selected as the Hiring Manager, even though she has only been added and linked to Client A's record.
 
 

Where
