Profiles have a new a look with this enhancement.  Foundant is excited to take so many of the User submitted ideas from idea lab and make them happen in the software.  Our highest voted idea lab submission was the ability to identify the main profile data regardless of the designation.

The profile summary includes the information needed when working with constituents. The primary profile data will now be static at the top of the page regardless of the designation page that is being viewed.  This summary includes an image, primary contact information, last donation date and pronouns.  With this new layout there will be an icon next to the profiles name at the header.  This will allow a User to easily identify an individual, household, or organization record.   Images have also been added to the top header box for easy reference as well. Another great new enhancement is the profiles name and designation will appear in the browser tab at the top of the page.

Below this header box, profile data has been organized in tabs:  Relationships, Engagements, Details, Files, Notes.  The left side menu will change depending on the tab a user has selected.  The Relationships tab includes: Opportunities, Profile Funds, Types, Profile Links and Philanthropic Interest Area. Engagement includes Active Campaigns and Similar Profiles. There is a new left-side menu to List All Campaigns which will return a report of active and  inactive campaigns.   The Details tab will house the rest of the profile information such as addresses, emails, birthday, salutations, task and custom fields.  Files and Notes will retain any files or notes for the profile.

For easy navigation, Designations have been moved to the top of the page as well. Clients can easily use the “make” action item to add a designation to a profile.  Designations will become bold as you navigate to one.  The Designation pages will also follow the new tab system to allow for the profile header to stay on each page.  The option to Make Affiliate/Supporting Org remains in the left menu of the main profile page.

Enhancements to the deceased and inactive checkboxes. The deceased and inactive checkboxes will now have functionality. When marking a profile deceased, it will also make the profile inactive, mark the address, emails, phone as inactive, and the designations: vendor, student, and grantee. This will also not allow the profile to be used when selling tickets, recording donations, creating vouchers/grants.  Print Envelope option from the profile will no longer be an option on the left-side menu once a profile is inactive. The deceased and inactive field is an option available to be set in names bulk update. The deceased and inactive checkbox will also add the inactive and/or deceased label in red at the top of the profile header box.

The ability to assign pronouns to a profile is now available.  If populated, the pronouns now populate in the header, directly after the profile name at the top of the summary box.  Up to three words can be included in the profile field.  This will be a preset list of pronouns: e|ey|em|eir|eirs|eirself| he|him|his|himself| per|pers|perself| she|her|hers|herself| they|them|their|theirs|themself| ve|ver|vis|verself| xe|xem|xyr|xyrs|xemself| ze|zie|hir|hirs|hirself.  A pronoun cannot contain a numeric or special characters, no spaces, and they will be displayed in ( ) separated by /. For example: (a/b/c)

When creating a profile you will now select to create an individual, household, or organization.  Then once you select the type of profile to create all fields will be available on the creation of a profile.

Just a reminder, foundation workflows may need to be updated with new creation of profiles.
