Release Notes 5.1.4

Release 5.1.4, scheduled for deployment on May 25, includes three new features and enhancements, site improvements and several notable bug fixes.

New Features

New Verify Organization Bank Account Information User Permissions

The new permission “Verify Organization Bank Account Information” controls the ability to change the verification status of an Organization Bank Account and add verification notes. The existing bank account permission “Manage Organization Bank Account Information” has been updated to no longer control bank account verification. These two permissions can now be assigned to different roles in your GivingData site. Additionally, the Organization Record Activity Stream now tracks changes made to bank account and routing numbers.

Online Editing & Sync with GivingData Cloud Native Documents

Users with the GivingData Cloud Native Documents storage can now open documents to edit in Microsoft Office 365. By clicking on the Document Title, the document will open in a new tab where a user, or multiple users, can edit the document that will be saved without requiring a re-upload of the document to GivingData. 

Please reach out to your Implementation Manager or CSM to enable this feature.

Update to Outlook Add-in Installation

The Outlook Add-in is available at the Pro and Enterprise subscription levels. There is now a new process for installing the Outlook Add-in that resolves issues for Mac users and eliminates the need to authenticate your Outlook login while adding Interactions to GivingData.

Users who already have the Outlook Add-in installed will need to re-install the Outlook Add-in by December 31, 2024 to avoid disruption. GivingData will reach out to your foundation to assist with this transition. 

This new installation process will require IT set up prior to installing. For more information on how to install the Outlook Add-in, please visit here.
