DioOffice Release Notes

11.2B Release

If you're part of the Preferred Client Program, you can download the latest desktop version in the Client Portal.

PDS DioOffice 11.2B, released for desktop and OnDemand 12-10-24, offers the following enhancements.

New and Improved Features

Disable Duplicate Checking in Pledge Card Entry

  • At the end of the Pledge Card Entry quick posting, you're alerted about any duplicates that were found. This is usually helpful. But sometimes, you may need to post a large group of anonymous pledges. In that case, if you don't want to see the warning message for each "duplicate", you can now disable it for that batch.

  • In the Posting Options window for the batch, you can select Disable Duplicate Checking. When you complete the quick posting, all "duplicates" will be posted without showing any messages.

    Tip: This is similar to the option in Payment/Donation Entry where you can select whether to check for duplicate entries.
Improved Messaging
  • We updated the message that displays when an Index Out of Date error occurs. Now, you're prompted to exit and restart your program rather than run the Fix Data process. We've found that this is typically a quicker solution. If the error displays again, you have the option to repair it.
Employee view only: Standalone Personnel
  • ACST Employees: We now offer a standalone version of the Personnel section. This way, dioceses can continue to use the Personnel section if they move to another ChMS product. In Test Mode, this option can be enabled or disabled with the Personnel Only checkbox on the Internal Flags tab in the Initial Setup window. You must exit the program to activate it. With the checkbox selected, you can only see the File menu, Diocese tab, Personnel tab, Reports tab, and Administration tab, along with the keywords, processes, and reports related to institution and personnel management. No financial information is present in this version.

Corrections

We fixed issues that were reported internally to our team, as well as the following issue that affected some of our customers:
  • If you modified a batch to add a line then used the Tab key after entering the amount, the new line was being deleted.
