How to configure Batch Management Options
- Go to the Settings page.
- Using the Navigator Bar, select Settings.
-or- - From the Home Page, using the Settings Card, select Go to Settings.
- Using the Navigator Bar, select Settings.
- On the Settings page, mark the options under Batch Management that you would like as the default option for all batches. Some of these settings may be changed for a particular batch on the batch details page* and again on the defaults panel** on the posting page.
- If you require batches for contributions, mark that. If you do not, unmark it.
- If you require batches for pledges, mark that. If you do not, unmark it.
- Require Contribution Batches: When this field is marked, contributions may only be added through posting them through the Batches page and not by using the Contributions page.
- This option may only be set on the Settings page.
- Require Pledge Batches: When this field is marked, pledges may only be added through posting them through the Batches page and not by using the Pledges page.
- This option may only be set on the Settings page.
- Allow multiple funds per batch: When this field is marked, different funds may be selected as contributions, or pledges are posted in a batch. When unmarked, only one fund per batch may be used.
- This option may only be set on the Settings page.
- Batch posting - Use Pledges by Default: As postings are added to a batch, if this is marked the software will search for a Pledge record to match with the payment. If it is not marked, no search will be done and if there is a Pledge record for the posted donor/fund, you must apply the payment to the pledge through the Pledges page in the Total Amount field. The benefit of turning the research off is faster processing speeds. The con is that you must hand match payments to pledges.
