Map Constituencies to VSE Categories

Colleges, universities, and private secondary schools can map individual and organization constituencies to the constituencies of the Voluntary Support of Education (VSE) Survey. The program uses these mapped constituencies to generate the VSE Survey Report. If you do not map all VSE constituencies to constituencies in your database, a message appears at the top of the Constituencies page to inform you that unmapped constituencies exist.

1. From Constituents, select Constituencies under Configuration. The Constituencies page appears.

2. Select the VSE constituencies tab.

3. Select whether to display the VSE constituencies for a college or secondary school. For information about how to select which VSE constituencies appear on the Constituencies page, see Change VSE Type to College or Secondary School.

   Warning: You must select whether to display the VSE constituencies for a college or secondary school before you map your constituencies. If you change the VSE constituencies displayed after you map your constituencies, you lose any information about mapped constituencies.

4. Select the VSE constituency to map to an individual or organization constituency in your database.

   • To map individual constituencies to a VSE constituency, select the VSE constituency in the Individual VSE constituencies column of the Map individuals to VSE constituencies grid.

   • To map organization constituencies to a VSE constituency, select the VSE constituency in the Organization VSE constituencies column of the Map organizations to VSE constituencies grid.

5. On the action bar, select Edit. The Map Constituencies to VSE Categories screen appears.

6. Under Constituency, select the constituency to map to the VSE constituency. You can map multiple individual or organization constituencies to a VSE constituency.

7. Select Save. You return to the Constituencies page. In the grid, the mapped constituencies appear in the Mapped Constituencies column for the VSE constituency.
