Hello!I am working on setting up new campaigns for our upcoming fiscal year, and I've noticed that we have a ton of funds and campaigns that we don't ever use that are still active. In order to clean up the records, I would like to inactivate these, but I'm not sure if there are any negative repercussions of inactivating funds or campaigns. Can anyone shed some light on the topic?I am a new development and Tess person, so I'm still learning the ropes. Thank you so much for your help!Sara
Sara,
I haven’t had any problem inactivating a campaign and encourage it if you are no longer using it. If you revive a campaign, which is generally tied to a fiscal year you could rename it for the current fiscal year. In the case of a fund I would ask your finance folks before inactivating anything.
I have a question of my own. I’m new to Tess and am looking for examples of how other companies structure their Funds/Campaigns/Appeals and would love to see a template if you have one. I’m trying to create a spreadsheet so that our database admin can set the FY up. Do you have that? Could you share?
Thanks,
Kristin
