Constituency Types

The program provides several default constituency types. The program may automatically add a constituency to a constituent, or you can add a constituency on the Constituencies tab. Constituencies also appear under Active constituencies in the summary of a constituent record as a link to additional information about the constituent. Constituencies may also appear under View as on the explorer bar as links to additional information about the constituent in regards to the constituency.

Note: To add user defined constituency types, from Administration, click Code tables. Under the Biographical category, click Constituency under Code table name column. The Manage Code Table Entries page appears. Here you can manage your constituency types.
