Assigning Initiative Resources

Access the Resources page (Contributor Relations, and then Initiatives, and then Campaign Initiatives, and then Manage Campaigns, and then Campaign Initiatives, and then Resources).

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Resources page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

You assign the responsible person for an initiative on the initial definition page in the component, but you maintain information about other resources associated with the initiative on this page.

Field or Control	Description
Staff Role (responsible manager staff role)	In the upper left hand field of the Responsible Manager group box, enter the ID of the responsible person who should get reports and notifications related to the initiative. Only valid defined staff and units are available for assignment. In the Staff Role field, enter the role of the responsible manager at the institution. Examples of staff roles are Prospect Manager, Campaign Manager, Solicitor, and so on. Roles are defined by your institution using the Roles page. Only valid defined staff and units are available for assignment.

Roles are determined by your institution.
