By default, the Donation Creator displays an empty gift amount field for users to enter the amount they want to donate, but you can set it up to display other gift amount formats, including:
■ A pre-defined array of gift amounts from which the user can choose
■ A gift amount field with a pre-populated gift amount
■ Or, an array of suggested gift amounts based on the signed-in user’s prior giving history
To display a pre-defined gift array or a pre-populated gift amount in the Donation Creator
1. From Desktop, go to Customers > Set up tables > General lookup/validation.
2. If a GIFT_AMOUNT table does not already exist, select New Table to create it.
3. Select the GIFT_AMOUNT table from the list and click New.
4. In the Code field, enter the distribution code for which you want to customize the display. For example, BLDG.
5. The values you enter in the Description field determine what is displayed on the donation webpage:
□ To display an array of gift amounts, enter a comma-separated list of gift values that you want to appear in the list. For example, entering 50,100,200,500 results in a radio list of those values displayed on the page. To preselect an option, precede the number with an asterisk: 15,*25,75.
Note: The gift array always displays an option for the user to select Other and enter any amount.
□ To display a single Gift Amount field with a pre-populated gift amount, enter a single amount. For example, 25.
6. Save.
To display a gift array based on the donor’s giving history
1. Configure the Donation Creator iPart for which you want to display personalized gift arrays.
2. For the Personalized gift array query, select the query $/Fundraising/DefaultSystem/Queries/ProductFundraising/GiftArray.
3. Save and Publish the content record.
When an authenticated user visits the donation page, the donation amounts shown in the gift array are generated based on that user’s prior giving history. For example, if their last donation was $50, the gift array shown for them might be 55, 110, 220, 440, and a free text entry field.
