Securing a list of new, distinct constituent records

Former Member
Former Member $organization

I am needing to report on new constituent records added to Tessitura.  To qualify as a new record, I need either a brand new Household record, or a brand new Individual record that is not associated with a Household.  I do not need new individual records that have been added to a household or Households already in Tessitura to which new individual records have been added.  Has anyone been successful in getting this information without including previous record contacts?  Thank you.

  • Hi Laura -

    There is a standard report called New Record Summary that can be run off a list. You could pretty easily create a dynamic list to run it against.

    Off the top of my head it would look something like:

    Constituent Create Dt >= RunDate (or whatever you wanted)
    Constituent Type = Household

    OR

    Constituent Create Dt>=RunDate (see above)
    Constituent Type = Individual
    And then depending on how you defined relationships it could be something like:
    Relationship  Category does not have 'Household' or Relationship Type does not have 'X,Y,Z'

    Then run use that list in the report and you should only see new Households or new Individuals not affiliated with a Household.

    HTH,

    Thank you Heather.  This helps.  The report function does not provide a total # of new records, but I was able to approximate the # from the List Manager list.
