The process name defaults from the Name field on the Add (or Edit) acknowledgement process screen. This field is disabled. To change the process name, access the Edit acknowledgement process screen.

For gifts with letter

The letter defaults from the Acknowledge revenue with letter field on the Add (or Edit) acknowledgement process screen. This field is disabled. To select another letter, access the Edit acknowledgement process screen.

Exclusions

To exclude constituents who request not to be contacted or solicited in certain ways, select Exclusions. The Exclusions screen appears. Exclusions help eliminate constituents from the process. For example, Mark Adamson requests that you not send email messages to him. If on his constituent page, through Communications, you add a solicit code that states “Do not email,” Mark will be removed from the process output when a matching exclusion is listed on the Exclusions screen.

For more information about the Exclusions screen, Set Exclusions for a Correspondence Process.
