Hi David,
Constituent-Constituent relationships can be seen in the Constituents module Hierarchy display - set-up is the same as that for Object-Object relationships.

Hi Noel,
Normally we do have separate constituent records for each of the people in a collective, as well as a record for the collective. We can play around with which are displayed or not, but having all of them linked allows for greatest searchability, we think.
For instance, we have records for Gilbert Proesch, and George Passmore, as well as for Gilbert & George. On each of their constituent records, we have the appropriate other name as an alternate name which seems to work up to a point when using the FIND CONSTITUENT search, since that searches alternate names as well.
Can we add constituents as a "related" constituent on another constituent record? I didn't think that you could with 9.35. We'd like to be able to do this, though. Is it something you can do?

Subject: Constituent Type for Artist Collectives
Dear TMS users,
I am curious to know what Constituent Type you assign for artist collectives (e.g. Guerilla Girls, Los Carpinteros [from Cuba], etc.). If you also create separate Individual constituent entries for the members of the artist collective, what type of Relationship (using TMS' Relationship feature) do you use between the individual constituent and the artist collective constituent entry. Parent-child relationship?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
