View: vcsi_iDonate_Tribute_Data
Note: Introduced in Donate Now - Premium 2.10.2.
The vcsi_iDonate_Tribute_Data view is a combined view of Donate Now - Premium and iMIS tribute data.
Tip: This view makes a great base for Donate Now - Premium reporting! Import this view as a RiSE business object and you can create Donate Now - Premium gift reports from the data available in this view.
Referenced tables
The following tables are referenced by this view:
- csi_iDonate_Tribute_Notification
- Name
- Activity
- Trans
- Trans_Notify
Tributes versus notifications
For Donate Now - Premium multiple tributes, only the Tribute fields will be populated. (However, for consistency with iMIS, since we are notifying these tributes via email, we write to Trans_Notify for these gifts if there are matching contacts in iMIS.)
For Donate Now - Premium single tributes, only the Notify fields will be populated. (Donate Now - Premium does not support linking to a Tribute ID, only the freeform honoree name/text. Donate Now - Premium will create and/or link to a Notification ID if a notification contact was entered, however.)
For standard iMIS tributes, the Tribute and/or Notify fields will be populated, depending on the type of tribute entered into iMIS and whether or not there is a Trans_Notify record for that gift.
Schema
In keeping with iMIS best practice, all values that would otherwise be NULL are replaced with empty string ('').
