Configuration: Constituent

The Constituent Configuration screen allows you to configure the drop-down boxes that appear within the Constituent screen along with the Contact, Social, and URL types. The Constituent Configuration screen has two tabs: Main and Contact.

The Main tab allows you to configure the following:

• Constituent Titles
• Name Suffixes
• Races
• Organization Types
• Individual Types
• Religions
• Relations

The Contact tab allows you to configure Contact types, Social types, URL Types, and Correspondence Reasons. The Contact, Social, and URL types are used on the Contacts panel of the main constituent record.
