We update the fundraising platform biweekly. Keep reading for a selection of the new features, enhancements, and bug fixes in the latest update.
Features and Enhancements ✨
Create New Forms
You can now create a new donation, peer-to-peer, or auction form from scratch.
On the Forms and Events page, click New Form to start a fresh form.
To help you raise more, new forms use the latest Bloomerang-recommended default settings, but you can always change these settings.
To create a new form from scratch, you must be an account administrator. If you can clone a form, you also have permission to create a new form from scratch.
If needed, you can still clone existing forms.
Customize the Transaction Summary Report (beta)
You can now customize the columns in your Transaction Summary report so it shows only data that's relevant to your role.
In the Transaction Summary report, you can now:
Add columns to display additional fields.
Remove columns you don't need.
Drag columns to rearrange the order.
Column changes apply only to your view of the report and don't affect what other team members see. Your changes are saved and appear the next time you open the report.
Enter eCheck Payments Manually for Bloomerang Payments
To offer more flexibility during checkout, Bloomerang Payments now supports manual bank account (eCheck) entries for US bank accounts.
Donors and customers can enter US bank account and routing numbers directly instead of logging in to their bank portals.
Manual bank account entries are validated for correct formatting at the time of entry, allowing for immediate submission and validation.
Manual entry is available on all donation forms and in the web application Virtual Terminal.
Other Enhancements
Bloomerang Fundraising now collects UTM parameter information from donation form URLs. UTM parameter information is available in transaction details, report columns, and Report Builder, and can be mapped to Bloomerang CRM custom fields.
After you check in peer-to-peer participants on the Bloomerang Fundraising mobile app's Participants list, you can now view additional participant information or undo the checkin.
The participant details page on the Bloomerang Fundraising mobile app now shows the amount that a peer-to-peer participant has raised and their fundraising goal.
Fixes 🛠️
Cloned peer-to-peer forms now correctly align custom field requirements with visibility settings, allowing donors to submit forms successfully without encountering validation errors on hidden fields.
The Auction Virtual Terminal now allows the Pay Now option for bidders whose registration transactions were voided or declined, ensuring they can complete their checkout.
Seat assignments in the Auction Virtual Terminal now save reliably and update the user interface immediately.
Transaction details, auction receipts, and email receipts now exclude inactive records to ensure accurate payment totals.
Promo code start and end dates now save and display correctly after toggling and reloading settings.
Unassigned guest tickets from company donations now appear as "Guest of [Company Name]" in the Virtual Terminal to maintain consistency with donor records.
