Follow

Have you had your data converted, or are manually entering it yourself? Have you completed your private administrative training? If not, contact us at feedback@donorsnap.com.

If so, it's time to get your program up and running! Here is a checklist of setup items to help you: 

  1. Set up all your DonorSnap Users and their Rights to the database and feature menus.
    Maintenance > Site-Setup > User Setup (Videos)

  2. Once logged in as Your User, customize your Dashboard Apps
    1. For the user handling thank you letters, add the app for "Acknowledgements Pending".
    2. If you are using Online Forms, add the app for "Online Forms Open Records".
    3. EDs and Administrators may want to add apps for Recent Donations/Top Donors. Build Goals apps related to your Appeals & Campaigns.
  3. Once logged in as Your User, customize your individual Grids (what appears on the “listing” tab when you go to Community/Contacts). Home > User-Settings

  4. Create your Thank You letters in Word and upload in to the program (Video)

  5. Edit drop-downs for BLACK DonorSnap fields (DonationType, Appeal, Accounting Code, etc.) under Maintenance > Site-Setup > DonorSnap Site Lookups  (Video)

  6. Add additional BLUE fields to the program (Attributes, Volunteer Interests, Birthdate, etc.) under Maintenance > Site-Setup > User-Defined Controls (Video)

  7. Add your Organization Contacts (where you assign an individual contact to a Board member or Key Staff member) under Community > Organization Contacts. (Video)

  8. Run a Duplicates report. Reports > Administrative Reports > Duplicates Reports to see what duplicates you may have in the system. Run a variety of the different reports, print them out, and go research. (Video)

  9. Set your System date. Go to Maintenance > Site-Setup > Additional Site-Options. At the bottom click the button for Change Options and enter your End Of Year date in the field.

  10. Start watching the Webinars under Help > Past Recorded Webinars, and sign up for FREE trainings as part of our Wednesday Webinar series.
