Create Pledge Tool
With the Create Pledge tool, you can enter pledges received on physical pledge cards.
- The tool is available on the Contacts, Donors, or Pledges pages.
- You can launch the tool on its own, from a selection of records, or from an open record.
- If the contact has a Donor record, you'll create a new pledge using the information you enter. If the contact does not have a Donor record, you'll create a new one along with the pledge using the following fields:
- Contact: The Contact record selected in the Tool.
- Stmt Frequency: The value from COMMON, DefaultStatementFrequency.
- Stmt Type: The value from COMMON, DefaultStatementType.
- Cancel Envelopes: Set to No.
- Setup Date: The date the Tool was last run.
- First Contact Made: Leave this field blank.
- After you create a pledge, you'll see a success message. You can then find the new pledge on the Pledges page.
