What's on tap ...
I've been working, as I've had opportunity, on a couple of nice additions to the Donor Manager.
First of all, the personalized e-mail sending routines are almost done, or at least ready for testing. Basically, it will generate individual personalized email messages in either plain text, or using an html template. It works pretty well.
In addition, the user can optionally edit each message, personalizing as much as they want, before sending.
It will be a nice addition.
You can also pull a list from those who gave in a particular month, and the program makes the gift amount available to merge into the email as well. For example, it can say "thanks for your gift of $(gift amount goes here) which you sent in last month."
The other major addition is a significant enhancement to the gift processing routine.
When I get it done, the program will be able to track individual gifts (down to the cents) and what specific fund / sub account they were given for, and in response to what appeal. So, if you are doing an appeal for a particular purpose, the program will be able to track that for you.
Putting the detail tracking in there isn't too difficult, but there are a lot of new reports that I'll need to write. They'll have to wait a bit, but this routine is about 75% done and should be ready for testing in a week or so.
