New Constituents to Tessitura

Aaron Glynn
$organization

Hi Network,

My consortium was looking to add a new constituent type called "Sub-committee" to Tessitura. I wondered if there are any troublesome reports that have hardcoded constituent types that I should watch out for. Or if there are relationships which I should enable once its created.

I guess overall, I'd like to know if anyone has any advice on the safest steps to implement a new constituent type.

 

Thanks

    We were advised early in our Tessitura life (c. 2008) to avoid adding new cust_types as that might break standard reports. I know that doing so now would cause me to have to check a number of custom reports as well.

    For these reasons at least I would advise anyone at the Guthrie that wanted to track subcommittee membership or the like to do so in some other way, e.g. we have a custom tab in which we track board membership, including related committees, etc.. Attributes could work, too.
