Add/Update Donors & Donor Name List
Posted: Thu May 17, 2007 11:25 pm
MLS is a wounderful tool compaired to the old MISsoftware. I have a suggestion and was wondering if programmers are considering adding this fix to the next up comming MLS version.
After year end we can only set donors to invisible. Would it be feasible to add a remove button here?
I have two reasons for this. First when one adds a donor if one makes a spelling mistake or enters something wrong and then adds the donor one cannot remove the incorrect donor. One has to then add the donor again. The second reason is MLS is not removing the donors at the start of the new year for members that have moved from unit.
Our Donor Name List is getting very large. I have noticed it contains names from donors that have moved out of the unit more then two years ago. Plus their are many duplicate names and misspelled names. Also their is a mixture of all caps and some first letter capatilized only. Ficticious example: LUNCHBOX, JOE & JANE and some are Lunchbox, Joe.
Would it possible to consider adding a remove button so clerks can clean up the Donor Name List? This can then be done when the new year starts. A remove button will also allow duplicate donors and misspelled donors to be removed.
I do not see a down side to adding a remove button for the add/update donors. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
