Select if the constituent no longer has a relationship with your institution. For example, if a constituent has a value of Parent and the child graduates, then select the Past option for the constituent type of Parent. |
Note: When constituent types are assigned to a constituent, you cannot delete the last remaining constituent type assignment. For example, if a constituent is assigned values of Alumni and Parent, you can delete one of these constituent types, but one must remain in the system.
