This chapter discusses how to:
Link a spouse to a constituent record.
Work with worksets.
Create service indicators.
Modify constituent type and class year.
Send email notifications.
Create and view attachments.
When you have established the constituent's relationship with the spouse, the Spouse link appears in the top right-hand corner of many pages when the constituent's record is retrieved.
|
Click to retrieve the constituent's spousal record on the current page. When the spouse record is retrieved, that record carries forward as you navigate from page to page. To return to the constituent's record, click the link. This link acts as a toggle switch, enabling you to move back and forth between spouse records. |
This section provides an overview of worksets and discusses how to:
Create a workset.
Join worksets.
Build a workset from a page in the system.
On many pages throughout the system you can create worksets, or groups of records that you review or update simultaneously. Worksets are a powerful tool when your work revolves around a group of constituents, because you do not have to retrieve each record individually to review or update information. Worksets can contain both people and external organizations within a single workset.
You can load a workset into a page to work with a set of records at one time, rather than individually accessing each record. You can also save, update, join, and reuse worksets.

There are several pages in Contributor Relations that you can use to build a workset:

Employee List
Involvement Roster
Acknowledge Suspense
Acknowledgement List
Top Donors
Giving Club Membership Summary
Resource Assignments
To build a workset while you are using one of these pages:
Select the Workset check box to include the prospect in a workset.
To include all the records on the page, click All.
To create a new workset, add to an existing workset, or override an existing workset with the selected prospects, type or select the short name for the workset in the Workset field.
If you are creating a new workset, type text describing the workset in the Description field.
Select Add to add the selected prospects to an existing workset without changing the existing workset records.
Select Overwrite to overwrite the records in an existing workset with the records that you selected.
Select Exclusive to remove records from an existing workset that do not match the records that you selected.
Click Build to create the workset.
You can create and review service indicators, or tags that provide important information about a constituent. For example, service indicators might be Verified Deceased, Do Not Call, Do Not Solicit, Do Not Mail, and so on.
The pages and process that you use to create and review service indicators are identical to those used in the PeopleSoft Campus Community application.

On many pages in Contributor Relations, the system displays a person's constituent type as a link, as well as class year. When you click the Constituent Type link, you access the Constituent Type Summary page, where you can review historical constituent types for that person. Click the Class Year link to display the constituent's Academic Information Summary page.
On many pages in Contributor Relations, you have the option to send an email to constituents. For example, after reviewing a person's Person Profile, you might send an email to the constituent to request an information update, or to invite the constituent to participate in a special event of interest, based on information on their record.

This section provides an overview of new attachment functionality in Contributor Relations and discusses how to create and view attachments throughout the system.
File attachments provide the ability to upload, modify, view and delete files in several areas of the product. The following table provides a high-level overview of where file attachments can be used in Contributor Relations:
Area |
Functionality |
Persons and Organizations |
A number of components can manage an overall set of file attachments for both people and organizations. Each attachment uploaded is assigned an attachment type. This type is defined by the user and is used for grouping and filtering attachments. The Person Profile and Organization Profile pages list the attachments created for the constituent where they can be subsequently downloaded and viewed on demand. |
Gift Entry and Pledge Entry |
Files can be attached to individual gift and pledges within a session. Attachments in posted gift and pledge sessions can be viewed and managed without the need to create an adjusted session. |
Planned Giving |
Files can be attached to individual bequests, trusts, gift annuities, and pooled income funds. The planned giving profile and prospect profile components list the attachments where they can be subsequently downloaded and viewed on demand. |
Prospects |
A common set of attachments can be managed for a prospect using the Prospect Attachments components. The attachments created can be viewed from the Prospect Profile page. Attachments can also be added to Strategies. |
Designations |
Attachments can be created and managed for each individual designation fund. Any attachments created can be viewed using the designation fund details components. |
Action Entry |
Attachments can be created and managed for each individual action assigned to people and organizations in Contributor Relations. The attachments created can be viewed using the Action Details secondary page. |
Matching Gift |
Attachments can be created and managed using the Matching Rules component. The attachments created can be viewed using the View Matching Rules component. |
Initiatives |
Attachments can be created and managed for each initiative (campaign, event, membership, volunteer, and other initiatives). The campaign attachments created can be viewed from the Campaign Summary component. |
