New Induvduals duplicated
June 20, 2011, 11:29:45 am
I have noticed that any time an individual is entered into the civicrm that their is duplication as an organization also created in the db. Is this suppose to happen? or what is the reason for this? If this is normal is their any way to disable this.

Also when importing contacts is their a way to add tags and groups to the contacts? or is their any documentation on how the tags and groups are related to a contact in the DB.


Thanks

Dave Greenberg

AFAIK, an organization would only be created if you've entered a value in the Employer field on the New Individual form.

Import Contacts provides some fields to tag or add imported contacts to groups (near the bottom of the screen in Step 3 of the import "wizard").

There's doc on the wiki and in the free onlne book (http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/) regarding tags and groups. If you're getting started with CiviCRM, browsing that book will be a worthwhile investment of your time.
