More funds designated (fund selector) in the new optimized donation form

Hey team. Please add the function for more funds to be allowed as designated in the new optimized donation form. We can't use it now as it only allows for one fund to be chosen. Thx. Irina

    Changing to planned - we are developing towards a Q2 release of a fund selector of up to 8 funds on the optimized form.

    Please note - the initial release will not include the ability to rename funds, but we'll be fast following with a fund relabel and sort enhancement.

    We do have some workarounds for this while we build out a fund selector (planned for later this year):

    There is an advanced workaround if you have a way to allow the fund selection to occur on your website prior to the optimized form – the optimized form allows you to build a url/hyperlink to pass in a fund id via the URL which bypasses the fund set on the form. This definitely takes a web developer to build out your fund selection experience – such as building out the dropdown on the page leading to the form, or having a more visual fund selection instead. Here’s more info on how this works: https://webfiles-sc1.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/tcs/content/donfm-link-params-tutorial.html

    We also have a designation search website component that you could utilize for your donors to search through your selected funds, which can then lead them into your chosen optimized form (and again overrides the fund set on the form.) Here’s more info on that: https://webfiles-sc1.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/tcs/content/web-components-designation-search-rc.html.


    We'll have more info on timeline in the upcoming April Product Update Brief.
