# Membership in Systems Central

Local use of Membership (mirror): maintainers, reporters, accountables, deciders and assignees.

[Shared definition and source fields](/systems/core/membership).

Systems Central names people as memberships, one person inside one organization, never as bare people. A membership is the System's Maintainer, a Feedback Reporter or Accountable, an Architecture Decision's Decided By and a Work Item's Assignee. The mirror is read-only. Correct a name, status or organization in Core.

## Local usage

| Field | Type | Links to |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Systems (Maintainer) | Linked records | [System](/systems/systems-central/entity-system) → Maintainer |
| Feedbacks (Reporter) | Linked records | [Feedback](/systems/systems-central/entity-feedback) → Reporter (Membership) |
| Feedbacks (Accountable) | Linked records | [Feedback](/systems/systems-central/entity-feedback) → Accountable |
| Architecture Decisions (Decided By) | Linked records | [Architecture Decision](/systems/systems-central/entity-architecture-decision) → Decided By |
| Work Items (Assignee) | Linked records | [Work Item](/systems/systems-central/entity-work-item) → Assignee |
| Tags | Linked records | [Tags (mirror)](/systems/systems-central/entity-tags) |

The other 19 columns come from Core. Several of them arrive as plain text rather than links, for example Teams, Heads (Team) and Business Relationships (Contact).

## The missing name

The mirror carries **Member** as synced text but no longer carries **Member (Name)**. Three lookups in this base were built on Member (Name) and are now invalid:

- System → Maintainer (Name)
- Feedback → Reporter (Name)
- Feedback → Accountable (Name)

They show no value. Until the sync to Systems Central publishes Member (Name) again, read the person from the link chip, the membership label, or Core. A Work Item tracks the restore. Do not add a local name column to the mirror to work around it.

## Maintenance

Correct shared facts in Core. A table name or field description alone does not verify sync direction, field mapping or refresh interval; confirm them in the sync settings in Airtable.
