Learn how to migrate from an old version to a new version

• You can now enter up to 100 funds:

  • Each fund will be classified as “restricted” or “unrestricted”.

  • A new required column was added to the Journal where you’ll select a fund for each transaction.

  • Many new reports were added to track fund balances and fund activity.

  • Donor statements will now show the fund names rather than account names.

  • See the funds user guide for more info.

• A new column has been added to the Journal allowing you to indicate if revenue from a donor is not tax deductible (quid pro quo). Classifying income as not tax deductible in the journal will exclude the amount from their donor's tax statement.

• Enhancements to budget reports:

  • Annual and year-to-date budget reports have been broken out into separate reports for easier readability.

  • The difference column in budget reports will now show in green or red as a visual indicator showing if you are over or under budget.

  • You now have greater flexibility for how/when your year-to-date budget values will increase. You can choose to have them increase by 1/12th the annual budget on the first day of the month, or by 1/12th the annual budget on the last day of the month, or by 1/365th daily. This is controlled in the Settings sheet.

• A link has been added to the “Date” header in the Journal. Clicking this link will take you to the last transaction entered in your Journal.

• Critical warnings and alerts:

  • On the Accounts/Budget sheet, if you enter a negative annual budget for a revenue account, or a positive annual budget for an expense account, the value will be highlighted in red (critical warning).

  • If you enter a date in your Journal that is outside the fiscal year, it will be highlighted in red (critical warning).

  • If you choose a revenue account in your journal, but enter a negative amount, the amount will be highlighted in yellow (alert). Similarly, if you choose an expense account, but enter a positive value, it will be highlighted in yellow (alert). Alerts can be ignored in some cases (refunds, accruals).

• Most critical formulas have been hidden to reduce the chances of accidentally altering them. All formulas have also been “protected” so a warning will pop-up if you do something that could alter them.

• The Check and Notes columns have been added to donor statements (but can easily be hidden if desired).

• A new sheet to track “in-kind” giving has been added.

• Improved help:

  • The most critical information for using the templates effectively has been added to the templates themselves.

  • There is now a welcome sheet, with a quick overview of how to get setup, with links to the sheets required for setup (and a recommended order of setup).

  • There are also a couple sheets explaining reports.

  • Many column headers now have helpful notes if you hover or click on them.

  • Links to relevant sections of the user guide have been added throughout.

• User guide has been updated to reflect changes for version 2024.02​
