Constituent Manager overview

Constituent Manager is the module that houses data about your people (constituents) organized into roles and/or groups.

A role is simply a “bucket” of constituents, such as Faculty and Staff, Students, Parents, or Alumni. The available roles are based on your contract. A group is a subsection of constituents organized using Group Manager and can be configured in a way that works best for your organization.

• Manual Entry: Manually enter data for each profile, one-by-one.
