Development Maintenance - Constituencies tab

Use the Constituencies tab to view the constituencies that the primary contact and their spouse are members of.
Constituencies can either be system-defined or user-defined, that is, defined by your organisation. System-defined constituencies all start with @. For example:

@DEB for the debtor's constituency
@PC for the current parent constituency.

Tip: You cannot delete community members from a system-defined constituency directly. For example, if you wanted to delete a community member from the staff constituency (@STF), use Staff Maintenance to delete the staff member; Synergetic will then delete them from the staff constituency.

Tip: Use the centre splitter to display more information for either the primary contact or spouse. See Using the centre splitter.
