What's New in Altru

Web form performance improvements

To provide your patrons with quicker response times and fewer 404 errors, this release includes web form performance improvements and caching for calendar date navigation in pre-registered events.



Updates to the TinyMCE HTML editor

This release upgrades Tiny MCE to version 6.8.5. This improves usability and security for the HTML editor throughout Altru.



What's New in Online Giving and Blackbaud Donation Forms

Specify recurring gift processing dates for Standard Donation Forms

To better align with your organization's business processes, you can now specify the dates donors choose to process their recurring gifts on Standard Donation Forms.



Pass parameters through webpage URLs for Blackbaud Donation Forms

Now, you can pass a designation and an appeal through the webpage URL where a Standard Donation Form is embedded or an Optimized Donation Form launches from. Previously, you could only pass these parameters through a form's Blackbaud-hosted URL and an Optimized Form's hyperlink and button.



Automatically sync constituent changes to recurring gift plans in Online Giving

To help maintain consistent records in Online Giving, updates made to a constituent's contact information in Altru now automatically sync to their recurring gift plan when the scheduled payment processes.
