Constituent Codes On a Transaction screen

From the NetCommunity page in The Raiser’s Edge, the Sign-Up Requests, Donations, Volunteer Requests, and Event Registrations transaction types include a constituent code field. The constituent code in the field defaults in both new and existing records in The Raiser’s Edge.

The constituent code in this field defaults from the Constituent Code field on the Edit Part screen in Parts. For example, Online is the constituent code for Donations transactions. When the Donation Form part was created, Online was selected in the Constituent Code field.

Tip: If the constituent code on the transaction screen is the same code as the New Constituents constituent code, the code is not duplicated on the Bio 2 tab in the constituent record in The Raiser’s Edge. If the constituent codes are different, both codes download to the new constituent record.

You can download the constituent code to an offline constituent record. You can also select a different constituent code for the constituent. To prevent the constituent code from downloading to The Raiser's Edge, delete the code from the field.
