Linking an Individual to an Organization

When you link an individual to an organization, the organization's address is automatically inserted into the address fields for the individual if the Link Address checkbox is also selected. If the linked organization has a membership that allows membership benefits to flow down, the individual will receive membership benefits through the organization, though they will not actually be a member.

Note: You must activate the membership benefits from the Organization's Membership Profile.

1. When adding a new Individual Profile record, in the Affiliation Information section of the form, enter the name (or part of the name of the organization in the Primary Org field.
2. Click the lookup button to insert the full name in the Primary Org field.
3. Enter additional information, as necessary, and then click Save to save the record.
