2022 DP 2.2.7 Release

  • The alert icon will only appear if there are active alerts to attend to.

  • Gift lists included in email receipts will respect the number of decimals set for a field in the screen designer.
  • If a donor record has no history of gifts, the Last Contributed Amount and Number of Years Donated field will have a value of 0 instead of being left blank.

  • Users with group security permissions set on the gift date field were encountering an error when the user saved a gift, the gift date would be deleted. We have resolved this issue.

  • Users can select any item from the Apps menu in the DonorPerfect navigation bar regardless of their browser’s width.
  • When using Thank Donor>Send a Letter from a gift record, DonorPerfect will include the correct number of decimals set for the field.
