Updates to phone data model
|
|
|
NGP VAN is updating our phone data model! Our goal is to provide a data model that more accurately describes the use, device type, and capabilities of a phone number.
These updates will make it easier for you to find the right phone number for the right channel and provide greater control over which numbers rise to the top of a supporter record.
A new field titled "Device Type" will be available during the week of May 6th to capture whether a number belongs to a "Landline," "Cell," "VoIP," "Fax," or "Unknown." The phone types "Fax" and "Main" will be deprecated during the week of May 27th.
More information on default settings and one-time mappings is available below.

Updates to Absentee Vote / Early Vote settings
|
|
|
We are updating our Absentee Vote / Early Vote data model and functionality to allow administrators more control over which fields are available in their database.
Starting May 15th, administrators can add and remove fields themselves and edit the drop-down values of certain fields. For more information on the updated data model and step-by-step instructions on how to add and remove fields, see our help documentation below.

Fundraising Management dashboard enhancements
|
|
|
Soon, all clients will be able to set custom date ranges on the Fundraising Management dashboard to see data across the most relevant time period, such as an election cycle or period. Customers with Disclosure and Compliance will also see a Non-Memoed Total metric, which lets you view the contributions that more directly impact cash-on-hand.

The ability to bulk remove tags will be available via Bulk Upload and Bulk Apply to help users more efficiently manage contact records.
