Additional Field Information

Envelope Number Options

• Starting Number — Enter the first envelope number you want to use.
• Increment — Enter the increment you want the envelope numbers to increase by. For example, if you only want to use even-numbered envelopes, you would enter a Starting Number of 2 and an Increment of 2.
• Exclude Numbers in this Range — Select this to exclude a range of numbers from the numbers available for reassignment. Enter the first number of the excluded range in the Starting with field, and enter the last number in the range in the Ending on field.

Record Selection

• Include Blank Envelope Numbers — Select to assign an envelope number to contributors who currently do not have an envelope number.
• Include Blank Member Statuses — Select to assign an envelope number to contributors whose member status is blank.
• Include Deactivated Contributors — Select to include contributors whose Contribution status has been deactivated.
