Store Documents using PaperSave

Many Blackbaud clients use a third-party document management system called PaperSave, by PairSoft. To achieve the greatest efficiency with our document management system, we need all documents in Raiser's Edge stored on the integrated PaperSave tile in lieu of the default Attachments tile. Please consider giving users the ability to configure LetterBox to store its documents on the PaperSave tile in RENXT rather than the default attachments tile.

Generate Pledge Schedule Letters from Gift Record

You can generate other gift letter types from the LB widget on the gift record, but the new Pledge Schedule letters don't seem to have made it there yet.

Would love to see letters of that type available on the gift record page, as creating a list and batch for just a single letter is cumbersome. Thanks!

We do not like that any RE NXT user can access Letterbox. Add in access controls to limit access to features.

Archive Letters produce

Can Bulk runs of letters be deleted or archived as they are attached on each donors record. If they are not then maybe they can be archived into months etc to make the whole area cleaner and easier to sort through.

Archive Templates in Letter Box

Since templates that are attached to bulk runs can't be deleted, add the ability to archive templates that are no longer used in Letter Box so that they can be hidden in the interface.

Adding custom name to bulk letterss

Is it possible to edit and make a customisable name to bulk letter runs? I use the same list to create donation receipts and each bulk letter is coming up with the same name. It would be really helpful to see a descriptive name, such as the date for each bulk letter run.

Make action description text editable

The action description automatically populates "Generated a gift letter..." We would like an option to say "Generated an invoice..."

Add "constituent name" as a seperate personalisation field

With the role out of organisation contact types and dynamic personalisation fields, the "name" field will export the main contact's name rather than the name of the organisation that made the gift.

In receipts, we will need a seperate "constituent name" field that will always export the name of the constituent that made the gift, regardless of whether it is an individual or an organisation.

Change name of generated PDFs

The ability to change the name of the generated PDFs from bulk letter runs. It currently uses the template name and would prefer to use internal naming conventions for the templates and then edit before sending to constituents.

The Ability to Add Days to a Date Merge Field

For example,

{{Today ()}} + 7, so letters don't seem "stale." Or

{{gift date}} plus 30, for next suggested giving date.

Modify the conditional/hard break from addressees

Please modify the addressee personalization field so that Letter Box removes (or observes) the conditional and hard breaks that have been built into the addressee and salutation configurations within the database view (dbv) that are still necessary for Mail functions in RE dbv like envelopes and labels. Thank you :)

Arrange and Sort Giving Summary Tables

The ability to arrange the fiels in the table, and sort by them. Right now, date appears to the right of amount, which was unexpected, and the information isn't sorted by either field; appears to be mostly in date order, but sometimes out of date order seemingly randomly. Unclear what field the table sorts by, but being able to rearrange the columns and choose which field to sort by would be incredibly helpful

Standards for Templates

Low priority.

The ability to set all templates at once to a certain margin, spacing, font, and pt size. Right now, if we decide to run a new letterhead or change the official font, all templates have to be changed individually, which is a pain.

This is not needed very often at all, but when it is needed, it's sorely missed.

Clone a Conditional Gift Template

Conditional Template Fields Should be Lookups

When you make conditional gift templates, the fields to filter through are text boxes. This means you have to be very sure you're spelling things correctly, and if you change the name of the record, you have to remember to also change it in the conditional template. A lookup field shows you the options as they are spelled and creates a permanent link where changing the name of the record will not break it.

This issue is exacerbated by the requirement to choose a default letter on conditional gift templates. If there were no default letter, you could just run the list through and count on things not properly hit in the logic just being left out of the letters. Instead, they get the default letter and it obscures that they weren't properly triggered.

Conditional Gift Template Logic That Includes And/Or

The ability to say "
If fund = X AND Constituent type = individual,
then send Template X- for Individuals;
If fund = X AND Constituent type = organization,
then send Template X - for organizations"

1 - you can't even access the field that specifies if the constituent is org or ind. Only all of your constituent codes, which means if you change those, you have to remember to go and change the conditional templates.

2 - This wouldn't be so necessary if you could create logic in the template, as the need for separate templates is due to needing separate headers - salutation/addressee for individauls and name for organizations (since orgs don't have salutation/addressee, and the letter comes out with a blank space. It's still an issue of not being able to say "If fund is X and amount is > Y, send "Super Thank You" Template; if fund is X and amount is <=Y, send "Normal Thank You" Template"

3 - Right now having to strategicaly combine separate lists -> separate conditional gift templates, different conditional templates, and different literal templates to achieve the same goal. Ideally, one list of unacknowledge letters and then a conditional template with AND/OR Logic that can work for all of them.

Allow Vertical Alignment in Templates

Need to be able to center templates vertically, so they are centered on the page no matter the length of the merge fields.

Margins don't work as well for this due to that varying length of merge fields.

Make the author of actions created by Letter Box to reflect the user that created the letter
Under review

Currently the user that authorised the app is used. Modify to use the user that created the letter.
