New Pinwheel Update!
A new report called Donations Not Received is available under Donors - Reports. It lists all donations where the Payment Received toggle is "No". This will enable accounts to identify donations where the payment may still be outstanding or was not updated correctly. Payments that have not been received are not reflected in the Donor Dashboards.

  1. The Team tool now allows users to change the term “Team” to Table, Group, Relay Team, or any other appropriate label for the event registration. The term “Team Captain” can also be changed.
  2. Custom questions in events now have a field called, “Make team member answers viewable by Team Captain?”. If the toggle is set to “Yes” on a question, team answers appear in the Team Participant Export in the Team Lookup tool. For example, if a custom question asks, “What is your pace?”, this can be marked as available for Team Captains to view.
