GIFTS FOR WINDOWS

QUICK START

The opening screen is called the Organizer (looks like file folders).

Starting with the "requests" file folder bolded, click on the binoculars to search for "all organizations" "starting with..."

From the list that appears, choose the one you're looking for and click on the zoom button (magnifying glass) then click on a related file folder, or double click or enter to open the request (depending on what information you need).

The write-up button is the 6th icon from the left on the very top row of icons. Just highlight the request and click the write-up button. This will take you to the wordprocessor where the data is merged for you and then you write the text of your write-up (now to include the "STAFF RECOMMENDATION" and other phrases that were provided in our previous forms).

If you have already created the write-up and want to open it again to continue editing, find the request in Gifts, focus on it, click the documents folder, highlight the entry in question and double click. This will send you into WordPerfect; make changes and save as usual.

While the "Organization" file folder is bold, click on the binoculars to search for an organization.

Usually, select "organization name" and "starts with."

Other searches can be performed here and mini-reports created.

When list of organizations matching selection criteria appears, click on the one you're looking for and then click the zoom button which looks like a magnifying glass. Then click on the "requests" file folder.
