When you select one or more of these check boxes, the appeals appear as values in the Appeal field when entering an appeal code throughout the system. Campaign appeals appear in Gift and Pledge Entry. Membership and campaign appeals appear in Membership Entry.
In the previous example, ALUMAN appears only in the Membership Initiatives and Membership Entry components. When you select more than one check box, this appeal appears as a value in the Appeal field for initiatives whose type is the same as any you selected here.
