Pledge Summaries When Posting Contributions

If you would like to see a pledge summary when posting contributions, add the administration setting PostContributionPledgeFunds and for its value enter the fund ID(s) for which you want summaries. If you enter multiple fund IDs, separate them with commas but no spaces. For example, 301,412.

When this is in place and you are posting contributions, whenever you enter the ID or name of a person who has pledged to one of the designated funds, a popup window will display:

  • Amount pledged

  • Amount given toward the pledge

  • Remaining balance on the pledge

The summary displays when a pledging donor’s name is entered.
