Improvement to Donor Letters Needed
Currently, there is no way to filter out gifts that were reversed or adjusted so all transactions are displayed on the donor letter, looking unprofessional. Is it possible to add a filter to include only adjustment types blank through A so that the letter will only display correct gifts. Also, would it be possible to add an option to include the comment field on the letter?

Add ability to Clear Out Unposted Cycle using a From/Through range.
In the clear out unposted cycle utility you only can select one pool. It would be better to add a from/through range so that you can run this utility for more than one pool at a time.

Need an import tool for the Interim Market Values Feature.
On the Asset Rebalancing tab in General Ledger under Processing there is an option to enter Interim Market Values. Currently, these values need to be entered manually. Having an import for these values would be very helpful.

Salutation build code for Joint or Alternate Name
Joint or Alternate name Salutation will not build from both Profile 1 and Profile 2 if we remove Prefixes and the partners have the same last name. It only shows the Profile 1 name. It will build if they have different last names.
We are moving away from Prefix use and would like Salutations to build automatically with both profiles First and Last Names in the Joint or Alternate name e.g. John Smith and Jane Smith.

When Profiles are combined, change historical grants posted to the 'from' profile to reflect the Report Name on the 'To' profile.
When two profiles are combined, either automatically revise, or allow for revision, of the Organization Name on the grants that were posted to the 'from' profile to reflect the Report Name on the 'To' profile. This is especially important in DonorCentral so donors see grants from the combined profile under one Organization Name, such as in the pie chart that is displayed.

FIMS - Watchlist function to streamline the grantee vetting process
Currently FIMS offers an organization watch list function that automatically adds a contact record to any profile that shows up on (11) watchlist agency reports.
Two enhancment that would improve this feature for staff that have to vet grantees for the donors that we serve....
- Add the SPCL list to this watchlist feature (https://www.splcenter.org/)
- Instead of creating a contact record in FIMS for an org that shows on any of the (12) watchlists it would be preferred to create an affiliation code
With these (2) enhancements in place it would make it much easier for foundations to filter…

FIMS Unitization Report enhancements - Add Fund ID, Fund Class to YTD Unitization Report
We provide a unitization report for one of our trustee banks each month. The report does not have Fund ID or Fund Class which we can use to filter funds for that trustee bank. Can those fields be added to the report or can fund class be part of the selection criteria?
We have to match on fund sort name which is now more time consuming because we now have many funds whose names begin the same (with the character limitation of the sort field). Or the sort field can be significantly increased.

Extend Character Limit on FIMS Table Occupation Description on Donor Record Biographical Section
We are trying to follow the Standard Occupational Coding Structure for our values in the Occupation code table. More characters are needed in the description to accurately reflect each option. Current character limit is not sufficient.

Revise Field Name "Ethnic Code" to "Race/Ethnicity"
As an organization, we feel the field name "Race/Ethnicity" better identifies the options we have available for proper identification of our donor population. Please consider this revision.

Allow interfund grants from donor advised funds to fulfill pledges
The IRS has issued new guidance, allowing this activity to take place, as long as the sponsoring organization doesn't call it a pledge in the grant letter. Can FIMS be updated to reflect this? https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-17-73.pdf

User Defined Profile Export is missing mailing address components
In the User Defined Profile Export, there is no way to export the "Individual Name" from the Salutations tab. Also, when selecting to include "Address" under Fields, the result does not include the "Address Type" field. Both are key components to being able to use this export for mailing lists. For example, if an exported address is a Business Address, that would mean I'd want to use the Individual Name instead of the Joint or Alternate Name for the mailing. Please add these fields to the Export. Contact bphillips@rifoundation.org with questions.

Add Alternate Address to soft credit acknowledgement or when using CC on Gift Acknowledgement
I would like for the soft credit acknowledgement to be sensitive to the alternate address command.
Currently, when using the soft credit acknowledgement export, the soft credit address ignores alternate address. Also, if using CC on Gift acknowledgements, the address for the CC profile pulls from profile 1 and ignores alternate address.

Allow amounts greater than $99,999,999.99 in "Promise" records
We recently had the good fortune to receive a planned gift (Promise) in excess of $100M, but discovered that the "Amount" field in the Promises tab doesn't accept values this large. The request is to change the field type of the "Amount" field to support {10}.{2} floats rather than {8}.{2}

Add check box "Ignore allow mail flag profiles" on Fund Statement Report and Export
Under General Ledger Reports, Add check box "Ignore allow mail flag profiles" on "Fund Statement" and "Fund Statement Export". This would enable one to capture fund activities on all funds in the system. We have donors that are anonyomous and request that their Solicit and Allow Mail boxes are UNCHECKED within their profiles. Therefore when fund statements are generated or exported the funds associated with profiles where allow mail is UNCHECKED do not print or export.

Mass Change Contact Tickles from One Employee to Another
When an employee leaves, it is a real pain to manually change all of their tickles to another employee and in some cases again when their replacement is hired. You should be able to do this just like you can mass change codes from one to another.

Adding Fiscal Sponsor info to Profile should check for and update open grant applications
There is currently no checking of open payables (A/P, grants, etc) when a fiscal sponsor is added to the supported org's profile record. This is means anyone adding a fiscal sponsor would be required to manually update grant records (for example) with the correct payee information. This is in stark contract to the address maintenance tool that prompts you when a record's contact information is updated AND they have an open payable. The current structure requires that the user both knows this behavior of FIMS AND knows that there is an open payable somewhere in the database AND has the…
