What's New In Raiser's Edge NXT® — April 4th

This week, Raiser's Edge NXT announces enhancements for PDF receipts and donation forms.

PDF receipt enhancements: Edit thank you message and add signatory name and title (for those in Australia and New Zealand, Canada, and Europe)

To better personalise your PDF receipts, you can now edit the thank you message and add a signatory name and title. From Fundraising, Gift receipting, select PDF receipt templates, and edit an existing template.

  • In the Signatory name and Signatory title fields, enter name and title of the person from your organisation who is authorised to sign receipts. If you already included a signature image, the name should match the signature you used.

  • In the Thank you message field, modify the default text to match your organisation's messaging.

For more information, see PDF Receipt Templates.


Enhanced constituent custom fields for donation forms

The table field type is now available in constituent custom fields for donation forms. To add custom fields to a form, from Tools, Donation form designer, create or edit a donation form. Under Form, move Constituent custom fields from Donor information in Form designer to a location on the form.

If the custom field enables donors to select multiple responses because Allow 1 per Record isn't set for the field in the database view, responses display as checkboxes.

Donor can give multiple responses

If the custom field is set to only allow one per record in the database view, responses display as a single-select dropdown.

Donor only chooses one response

For more information, see Donation Form Donor and Gift Information.

Note: To configure and add new custom fields in the database view, from Configuration, select Attributes. After you configure an attribute or custom field, you can add it to donation forms. If a field is set to only allow one per record, any existing data in the field is overwritten. For more information, see Custom Fields.
