Sandra, From memory (with corrections welcomed), I *believe* the process is: 1. Create your Person records. 2. Find the refName values within those Person records. 3. Store those refName values - which are essentially references to those Person records - in the appropriate fields in your CollectionObject records. You should then see those Person records appear in the Terms Used area of your CollectionObject records, and be able to click their links, to 'pivot' to those records.
