🛠️ Enhancements & Improvements
💰 Flexible Financial Tools & Clearer Giving Insights
Managing pledges, deposits, and contribution trends is simpler and more intuitive for your finance team.
- Multi-Fund Pledge Split: The redesigned Pledge Editor lets you split a single pledge across multiple funds seamlessly, simplifying multi-project capital campaigns and specialized giving.
- Contributor Drill-Down Views: Financial officers can click directly into any fund summary to see detailed contributor histories at a glance.
- Clean Financial Tables: Pledge summaries and deposit payment tables feature modern, clutter-free layouts that respect your site's custom local currency settings.
- Strict Module Visibility: Finance and Fundraiser controls are strictly gated by administrative settings, keeping non-financial roles focused exclusively on their relevant workspace.
👥 Usability & Directory Enhancements
We have eliminated common interface friction points across group management, reporting, and site navigation.
- Streamlined Group Role Management: Creating, editing, and assigning group roles now takes place in clean pop-up windows with built-in delete confirmation prompts to prevent accidental changes.
- Reliable Member Verification Links: When sending profile verification requests to families, error messages are clearer, and staff can preview confirmation emails before sending.
- Accurate Custom Field Exports: Custom fields in member list exports (CSV/PDF) now display true field names and values instead of raw background codes.
- Polished Interface Navigation: We removed duplicate action buttons on the People Dashboard and fixed dropdown menus so they open smoothly without getting clipped by table borders.
- Interactive Church Location Setup: Easily pinpoint your church's physical location with a new "Generate Coordinates" button and live map preview directly inside church information settings.
⚙️ Administration & Ongoing Platform Safety
As with every release, we continually work behind the scenes to keep your software safe, stable, and secure.
- Dedicated "Manage Events" Permission: Administrators can now toggle event management access specifically on the User Editor card for finer role control.
- Continuous Protections: Routine maintenance and security refinements have been applied across forms, login checks, and data views to ensure your church's workspace remains protected and reliable.
🌍 Global Language Polish
- Complete Localization: The system is fully localized across 45+ supported languages for all the new features and updates in this release.
