Merging SubDonor Information
When merging two records that both contain SubDonors, there is an option to select the default SubDonor. It is labeled as Gift On Behalf Of.
After the members are merged, both SubDonors are listed on the Person Detail page for the combined member. The one that was selected on the "Gift On Behalf Of" option is notated as the Default SubDonor.
The Gift On Behalf Of label can be changed to "Default SubDonor" or whatever description best fits your organization. To change the label name, select the Organization option under the Administration menu. Click on the ContributionSubDonorTitle link and then change the Value field. Click the Update button when you are finished. (Don't forget to Refresh Cache.) |
