Access feature areas from left hand navigation (for some of you)

Note: We’re releasing these updates in waves instead of deploying everything at once. When waves complete, we'll update the help content to reflect those changes.



To make it easier to access features with more intuitive navigation, the menu has moved to the left side of screen and some features have been moved to new areas for accessibility.

You can now find features in the following areas:

• Constituents — Constituent lists is now available from Constituents, where you can also access Data health and Duplicate management.

• Gifts — Fundraising is now Gifts. You can access Gift management (now Gifts, Overview), Gift lists, Receipts, Acknowledgements, Giving statements, and Funds under Gifts.

  Tip: Gift batch entry is now accessible directly from Gifts in left navigation.

• Communications — Marketing is now Communications, where you can now access Email and Workflow designer.

• Online Giving — You can now access Online Giving to create Optimized Donation Forms and access your Standard Donation Forms.

• Portfolio — Work Center is now available from Portfolio, where you can also access Prospect insights, Action lists, and Opportunity lists.

• Events — You can now view and manage events from Events, Overview.

• Analysis — Query, Fundraising dashboards, and Dashboard builder are now all accessed from Analysis.

• Settings — You can now find Control panel, System fields, and Tables under Settings.

Tip: For a full list of navigation changes, review Navigation Enhancements.

More enhancements to merge duplicate records

To help you manage possible duplicate constituent records, we’ve made the following improvements:

• To prioritize active constituents, from a list of possible duplicates or merged duplicates, you can now select Filter and add the filters for Include deceased and Include inactive to filter deceased and inactive constituents from the list of possible duplicates or hide merges where the source constituent was deleted.

• To help you correct duplicate merge errors, from Duplicate management, Merged duplicates, you can now view more details for merge failures to help you correct merge errors under Status.

For more information, see Duplicate Management.
