It may be beneficial for your organization to set standard operating policies around how to reflect changes to a constituent’s record after they are marked as deceased or get married. For example, to save money on mailings, you may consider policies to automatically change a deceased constituent’s solicit code to “Do not mail” and automatically update contact information for constituents when they marry.

On the Manage Life Changes page, you can configure Altru to automatically update specific constituent information after you mark a constituent as deceased or update a constituent's spousal relationship. To access the Manage Life Changes page from Constituents, click Life changes under Configuration.

Note: If system configuration options are not set for deceasing or for marriage, the Deceasing Options page or Marriage Options page does not appear.

To help you manage these configuration options, the Manage Life Changes page contains multiple tabs.
