Update Family Interactions

CAUTION: This process alters data. We recommend backing up your data before proceeding.
With this process, you can update or erase the logged letter entry on multiple records. Once processed, you can view updates in the Letters, Visits, Etc. window.
CAUTION:

This process modifies existing entries in the Letters, Visits, Etc. window. It does not add new lines.

For example, while conducting a pledge drive, you mailed two letters – the second with a pledge card. Soon, you begin receiving pledge cards from the families, and you want to update the records. In this case, you must change the Type for the sent letters to Positive Response. This makes it possible to locate and follow up on those who haven't responded by a certain date.

  1. On the Information tab, click Families > Processes > Change Letters, Visits, Etc..
  2. Select which families to include based on descriptions, types, and dates.
    Note: If you enter a description, you must enter it exactly as it appears in the Letters, Visits, Etc. section.
