The Constituents grid is where you will manage your constituent records. It shows a list of all constituents in a grid format with basic information for each, such as constituent type, contact information, and summary information about that constituent. You can click on the name listed in the Last Name/Constituent column to view more detailed information about that constituent in their profile record.
