Donor Management Data Setup

In CRM, an entity is a table that holds a certain type of data with the attributes functioning as the columns of the table and determining which information goes into the records of that entity type. When users are setting up Donor Management, there are a number of setup data entities that need to be populated with setup data.

Contact Type Groups

A Contact Type Groups entity should be populated with setup data in order to differentiate roles (e.g. volunteer member or donor).

This entity specifies the grouping of the different Contact types. Below are some sample records that can be used as Contact Type Groups:

Donor
Member
Volunteer

Contact Types

This entity is used to setup Contact types or roles that Contacts inside the system can have. Below are some sample records that can be used as Contact Types, along with samples on how they can be liked with Contact type groups:

Donor: Previous Donor
Member: Gold
Member: Lifetime
Member: Platinum
Member: Silver
Volunteer: Event
Volunteer: Office
Volunteer: Service

To populate setup data for the Contact Types tile:

1. Click on the Contact Types tile.

Sequence Rules

Donor Management gives the option to generate custom sequencing rules to any entity. Donor Management uses Sequencing Rules to auto-increment Tax Receipt Register numbers on tax receipt generation. The following is an example on how to create a Sequencing Rule for a Tax Receipt Register entity. The same steps can be applied on any entity, with the proper renaming of entity name and numbering field.

To configure a record Sequencing Rule:

1. From the navigation bar, hover over the Microsoft Dynamics CRM logo to display the tiles for the work areas.

2. Click on the Donor Engage Setup tile.

NOTE: To see more tiles, click the right arrow (on the far right side of the row of tiles). Alternatively, users can scroll with the mouse wheel.

The navigation bar now displays Donor Engage Setup.

3. From the navigation bar, click on the Donor Engage Setup tile.

The work area tiles display.

4. Click on the Sequencing Rules tile.

The list of Active Sequence Rules displays.

5. From the command bar, click on New to add a sequencing rule.

6. In the Target Entity field, enter the entity schema name, in our case it's altus_conationtaxreceiptregister.

7. In the Autonumber Field, enter the field schema name that will be used in sequencing, in our case it's altus_registernumber.

8. In the Current Position field, enter 0.

9. In the Display Format field, enter the display format of the sequencing. Example: AltusDE-Rect-{CurrentPosition.PadZero(5)} would result in sequencing in the following format: AltusDE-Rect-00001.

10. In the Scope field, select Business Unit or Organization from the drop down.

NOTE: If Business Unit is selected, enter the desired Business Unit Name where the sequencing will take place.

11. Click the Save button in the bottom right corner.
