What's New in Altru

To provide your patrons with quicker response times and fewer 404 errors, this release includes web form performance improvements and caching for calendar date navigation in pre-registered events.

This release upgrades Tiny MCE to version 6.8.5. This improves usability and security for the HTML editor throughout Altru.

To help you manage your organization's business processes, you can specify the dates donors choose to process their recurring gifts on Standard Donation Forms. When you create or edit a Standard Form with recurring gifts, under Form, select Clicked to edit over the gift amounts. Under Recurring, configure how and when to process the gifts. For more information, see Configure gift types.

To help maintain consistent records in Online Giving, updates made to a constituent's contact information in Altru now automatically sync to their recurring gift plan when the scheduled payment processes. These updates in Altru may include:

• Changing the constituent associated with the plan

• Updating the constituent's contact details

• Merging constituent records

To learn how Online Giving connects to Altru, see Get Started with Online Giving for Blackbaud Altru.

Now, you can pass a designation and an appeal through the webpage URL where a Standard Donation Form is embedded or an Optimized Donation Form launches from. Previously, you could only pass these parameters through a form's Blackbaud-hosted URL and an Optimized Form's hyperlink and button. For more information, see Add Parameters to Webpage URLs.
