One big feature we'll gain in the conversion to CA is Rules. Rules let you use criteria to determine whether or not a certain action will apply. For instance, you can set a rule to determine whether a pledge should post to the GL. During our Constituent and Contribution training we've seen a number of places where rules can apply. I know we'll see even more in our Communications Management training next month.
Just last week Todd and I experimented with CA rules for the first time. We developed, and then refined, a rule that would post a pledge to the GL if it wasn't a current year Annual Fund pledge. The rule would cause a Y or N to default into the "Post to GL" box on the new pledge screen, but would not overwrite a manually entered value in that box. Perfect!
