How do I track "Soft Credits"?

The recommended way to track soft credits is fairly simple:

• Create a Donation Type of "Soft Credit". (For help, watch the video on adding DonorSnap system dropdown choices.)
  
• Record the actual donation as normal under the appropriate contact who made the donation (for example, Sam Jones).
• Record a second Donation using the Soft Credit code on the individuals account who may have directed the money your way (for example, Bob Smith, who encouraged Sam Jones to donate).
  
• Add in the comments of Bob's donation that the donation came from Sam Jones.

Sam Jones gets the Hard credit for the donation; Bob Smith gets the soft credit.
