Adding a community member to a user-defined constituency

Note: You can only add a community member to a Synergetic constituency by adding them in the appropriate function. For example, to add a community member to the Debtor constituency, you must create a new debtor in Debtor Maintenance. You cannot add a community member to the Debtor constituency from the Community Maintenance windows.

To add a community member to a user-defined constituency:

Search for the community member. See Searching for community members.
The Constits tab of the Community Maintenance window is displayed.
Click .
The Add Constituency window is displayed.
Select the constituency and the date the community member joined the constituency.
If required, select other information, for example related campus, start and end dates.
Click .
The community member is added to the user-defined constituency.

Note: You can add user-defined constituencies using the lookup table luConstituency. See Maintaining lookup tables in the System maintenance manual.
