Working with a Constituent's Latest Interactions in CRM360®

The Latest Interactions section of the CRM360 screen (highlighted below) is a real-time snapshot of the five most recent interactions that the constituent had with the organization, including receipts, orders and donations, and contact tracking and activities. Please note that the records displayed are based on the creation date, not the date in which the item was last updated.

Note.pngWhile the Application Designer can be used to customize the Latest Interactions grid, TMA Resources recommends that you do NOT customize the Latest Interactions grid to include more than five records as this would have a serious impact on performance.

Note.pngBecause the Latest Interactions grid is not constrained by a time period, this list may contain old records. Therefore, when you click View All from the Receipts, Orders and Donations, and Activities tab, the records displayed in this grid may not be immediately visible on the opening screen as the opening screen may have predefined date range filters. Keep in mind that date range fields are controlled by the "ORDERVIEWMONTHLIMIT" application parameter. For example, if an order from 2010 displays in the Orders and Donations tab in the Latest Interactions section, when you click View All, that record will not be displayed on the Order and Donation History screen because the date range filters are between 2011 and 2012.

The following tabs of information display in the Latest Interactions section:

Activities

The Activities tab displays a list of the last five contact tracking records and activities in which this constituent is the owner of the record, the person contacted, or pertains to. The first column displays the date in which the activity was created. Activities created from Contact Tracking will display the Contact Type in the second column. Activities created by the system or from the System Activities screen in CRM360 will display the Subsystem in the second column.

The description column displays the activity text for this item only. Please note that concatenated text from all related activity items will NOT display. Click the View All link to open the Activity and Contact Tracking screen below the header in CRM360. Click Create New link to open the Contact Tracking screen for this constituent. Select the Outstanding Items Only checkbox to filter and display only the activity records that are unresolved.

Orders and Donations

The Orders and Donations tab displays a list of the last five orders and donations in which this constituent is the bill-to or ship-to. If more than five orders occurred on a particular day, please click the View All link to open the Order and Donation History screen below the header in CRM360 to display all orders because orders are not sorted by the exact time of day in which the order was placed. Click the Create New Donation link to open the Donation Entry screen for this constituent. Click the Create New Order link to open the Order Entry screen for this constituent. Select the Open Balances Only checkbox to filter out the receipts and orders that have been paid.

The first column displays the date in which the order was created. The second column indicates what type of order it is: order (including insertion orders) or donation. Click on the hyperlinked order number to open orders in Order Entry, donations in Donation Entry, or advertising orders in Insertion Order Maintenance.  The description column displays the product description on the order, the order status in parentheses, and the fulfill status. Additionally, for meeting orders, the description will display the meeting start date, the city, and the state. For membership orders, the description will display the membership cycle begin and end dates. For fundraising donations, the description will display the fundraising product type and amount.

Selection Logic:

Records are selected from Far_Txn where Txn_Type_Code is 1, 2, or 3.  The amount displayed is (Far_Txn.BASE_AMOUNT times -1).

 

The description that displays is:

When Far_Txn.TXN_TYPE_CODE = ‘1’ and Far_Txn.BASE_AMOUNT > 0, then Type = “Receipt”, Tracking = Receipt No, Description = ‘Receipt reversed  ($amount * -1) ’

When Far_Txn.TXN_TYPE_CODE = ‘2’ and Far_Txn.BASE_AMOUNT > 0, Type = ‘Refund’, Tracking = Voucher No, Descrption = Far_Txn.COMMENTS + ‘ ($amount * -1)’

When Far_Txn.TXN_TYPE_CODE = ‘2’ and Far_Txn.BASE_AMOUNT < 0, Type = Refund, Tracking = Voucher No, Description = Far_Txn.COMMENTS + ‘ ($amount * -1)’

When Far_Txn.TXN_TYPE_CODE = ‘3’ and Far_Txn.BASE_AMOUNT > 0, Type = Transfer, Tracking = Receipt No, Description = Far_Txn.COMMENTS + ‘ ($amount * -1)’

When Far_Txn.TXN_TYPE_CODE = ‘3’ and Far_Txn.BASE_AMOUNT < 0, Type = Transfer, Tracking = Receipt No, Description =  Far_Txn.COMMENTS + ‘ ($amount * -1)’
