Enter split gifts from Fundraising > Enter gifts by selecting the Split gift items option. When necessary, adjust the following details related to a split gift using an adjustment batch: Donor, List As, Request, Source Code, Moves Manager, and Tribute. See Splitting gifts for details.

Term information added to accrual dues batches
The accrual dues batch detail window contains an enhanced default query that now provides the term begin date, term end date, and term length associated with each billed product. See Reviewing and printing accrual-based membership fee batches for details.

Use this business object when reporting to display each gift as a single line item. To search and review DonationSummary data, select the Donation summary query from Fundraising > Find gifts. See Fundraising business objects for details.
Additional Enhancements
- Pay Central Live search enhancements: Staff users can now search for non recurring Pay Central transactions using the Invoice number, and any other transactions using the Gateway Transaction ID and the Pay Central ID. Refunds and voids are also supported, with refunds now showing negative values in the Amount field.

- Editing forms from the Forms content item: Select Edit source form to edit forms directly from the Forms content item. A limited view of the form designer opens. This limited view of the form designer supports adding, editing, removing, and rearranging form elements. Save the changes to update all pages containing the form.

- Additional Membership Fees invoice type: The AdditionalMembershipFees invoice type is available from the Open Invoice List Display content item. You must add this new invoice type to custom pages with the Open Invoice List Display content item. Invoices created through the following scenarios are assigned the AdditionalMembershipFee type:
- A staff user updates a member’s customer type while the member has an open cash-based membership invoice. The open invoice is converted to the AdditionalMembershipFees type and remains available for payment on the member’s account page.
- A member has an outstanding balance for some membership fees. They are billed for the next term, but those fees are not included in the renewal (e.g., the items were removed from the billing cycle). The older membership fees are now available to be paid or reversed in an invoice with an AdditionalMembershipFees type.
- A member adds optional items during renewal, but the payment must be reversed or refunded. The optional items are then available to pay or be reversed separately from the renewal invoice, in an invoice with an AdditionalMembershipFees type.
- Empty cart graphic: The Cart Details Display content item now displays a graphic when the cart is empty.
Upgrade Changes
- Updating the iMIS time zone: In an on-going effort to improve iMIS performance, the option to change the time zone has been removed from the settings. To review the read-only iMIS time zone, go to Settings > About iMIS, and select the Show more link.

- Report Writer upgraded - The Report Writer integration has been updated to the latest version of Exago BI.
- Query SQL Expression textbox only available to system administrators - As a security enhancement to IQA queries, the SQL Expression textbox located on the query Display tab is only available to system administrators.
- Custom websites using the Constellations template automatically updated with the Constellations_Classic template - The navigation enhancements required many changes to the Constellations template; therefore, custom websites using the Constellations template were updated to use the Constellations_Classic template. The Classic version of the template will be deprecated in the future, so it is important to review Upgrading custom websites that are using the Constellations template to understand the steps you must take.
- Fundraising reports no longer displaying reversed or adjusted gifts and pledges as separate line items - When a gift or pledge is adjusted or reversed, the following reports display a single line item instead of an additional line item for the reversal or adjustment:

Action may be required if any existing HTTP status codes are explicitly looking for a 201 Created status in response to a PUT (Update) request. The 200, 201, and 204 HTTP status codes are considered “Success” results and most likely should not impact current integrations.
- Fractional quantities are blocked for inventory receipts and adjustments transactions - Only whole numbers are acceptable when setting quantities for inventory receipt and adjustment transactions.
- Navigation changes - The navigation has been updated:
- The SMTP email settings are now located at Settings > RiSE > Email settings.
- The Staff site footer links have migrated to a the new Help navigation item. Under the Help navigation item, there are links to the help site, Support Portal, Learning Hub, and Marketplace.
- Card field split into multiple text fields for smaller screens - When entering a credit card payment from a smaller device such as a mobile phone, the Card fields (credit card number, expiration date, CSC, and postal code) are no longer contained in a single text field and are instead split into multiple fields. This enhancement ensures the card fields are easily accessible on smaller devices.
Important! This does not apply to self-hosted or 20/20 Advance Program clients. See Upgrading custom websites that are using the Constellations template.

logging in to iMIS with an external directory
With iMIS OpenID Connect (OIDC), staff users can use their company’s external directory to log in to iMIS. For example, an organization has specific credentials assigned to each employee to gain access to various systems. With the configuration of OpenID Connect in iMIS, those same credentials can be used to log in to iMIS without requiring a separate iMIS username and password!

Note: If you have made copies of any of these search queries or have your own queries that filter for State/Province, it is recommended that you update those queries to use the State Province Id property on the Filters tab. You should continue using the State Province property as a Display property in IQA queries.
Using "if" conditional statements
Conditional functions are a way to perform calculations on properties or a range of properties, but only if those properties meet a certain condition. Use conditional functions to customize account alerts, communication templates, the Data Showcase content item, and the Query Template Display content item. For example, a birthday alert that displays on a member’s account page based on the age of the member.

- MembershipWebService only accessible by authenticated system administrators - The MembershipWebService is a deprecated SOAP service.

Anyone calling the MembershipWebService through a third-party tool must be logged in first, and the logged-in user must have the SysAdmin role; however, it is recommended that calls to this service are reviewed and replaced with calls to UserSecurity to ensure there are no future disruptions.

APRIL (20.3.121) | |
NEW FEATURES | |
Automatically voided fundraising receipts | Certain actions will now automatically void gift receipts, requiring one less step to be taken by staff users!

Any cancellations of charitable event registrations or program items will also result in voided receipts. Additionally, any payment adjustment to one gift of an aggregate receipt now results in a voided receipt. The remaining unadjusted gifts can then be reissued a new receipt that details the replacement of the original receipt. |
Fundraising requests | Previously in the iMIS Desktop, the Fundraising Requests feature allows you to track activities, such as phone calls, letters, emails, and notes that ask for a gift or pledge. This feature also enables you to associate donations with the requests that prompted them. |

Selecting a batch when generating invoices for orders | When mass invoicing orders (Commerce > Process orders > Generate invoices), a new batch is always created based on the defined Invoice date. When invoicing an individual order from the order details page and Manual batches is enabled, a batch selection drop-down appears allowing selection of an existing batch, create a new batch, or use the Default batch. |
Displaying query results in random order | Define a query to display the results in a random order by adding the Random order property to the Sorting tab. When the Random order property is added as a sort option, the results are displayed in a different order each time the query is refreshed. |
