Out of the box, no distributions appear on the donation page in the Public view. You must add one or more iMIS defined distribution codes to the EligibleDistributions property of the Gift.aspx file. From the donation web page, donors can then select which of the distributions to credit with their donation. You can also specify a distribution to be selected by default when donors visit the page.
To add distributions to the donation page
1. Using iMIS Desktop, create or find distribution codes to add to the Gift.aspx file.
□ From Fundraising, select Set up tables > Distributions and premiums.
□ Either define a new distribution or select an existing distribution to view its code.
2. Open the Gift.aspx file with a text editor. In a typical installation, the Gift.aspx file is located in the local directory for the iMIS application: c:\Program Files\ASI\iMIS\iMIS_public\Core\Donations\Gift.aspx.
3. Add the distribution codes to the EligibleDistributions property, separated by commas.
For example: EligibleDistributions=”BLDG,GEN”
4. Save your changes to the Gift.aspx page.
When the donation web page is rendered, each of the codes will be translated into the full distribution name and displayed in a drop-down list in the same order as the EligibleDistributions list.
To specify a default distribution code
1. Open the Web.sitemap file with a text editor. In a typical installation, the Web.sitemap file is in the local directory for the iMIS application - c:\Program Files\ASI\iMIS\iMIS_public\Web.sitemap.
2. Find the "Donate now!" siteMapNode:
<siteMapNode title="Donate now!" url="~/Core/Donations/Gift.aspx" />
3. Append ?DistributionCode=[default distribution code] to the URL. For example, the following URL tells the donation page to open with the BLDG distribution code selected by default:
<siteMapNode title="Donate now!" url="~/Core/Donations/Gift.aspx?DistributionCode=BLDG" />
