With the move to GREAT, schools and units will designate some users as Creators and/or Submitters of gifts in GREAT; while some users will have view only permissions, and be able to see entries and images in GREAT. Others users, Account Managers, will have the ability to view entries made in GREAT once the entries have made it to the Processing state. At this point, the entry will appear in Advance and Decision Support. Participants of this will get a brief overview of the new process using GREAT, learn how to search for entries, and understand the different statuses in the system. Participants will also learn how to read the gift details screen, view images attached to gifts, review the financial details of entries, and see the history and money movement of each entry. Users can use the tracking numbers in either GREAT or Decision Support to see where the money associated with an entry is during process and how/where money has been deposited. Once a unit is using GREAT, the CR doc will no longer be used, receipts will be sent by Advancement Services and the school or unit will be responsible for sending stewardship pieces to the donors. Who should attend: Participants in the training should be those development staff who want/need the ability to view entries and images in GREAT or who have been designated Account Managers and will need access to see how/where money movement has occurred on a gift. Users will need to complete the Advancement Services security training video, while the Account Managers should also have access to Decision Support. The video and acknowledgement form can be found at: http://ais.ucdavis.edu/learningcenter/systemaccess.html as part of the online registration.
This training will show users how to find/search for gifts in GREAT, review gift details, view the movement of funds, and review receipts and other documents associated with a gift. Attendees should be those who want or need access to GREAT to see and review gifts. The training for inquiry only users is approximately 30 minutes. Account managers should attend the account manager training offered separately.
This training is for the pilot groups of the new GREAT software and centralized gift processing. It is designed for creators, submitters, and supervisors of gifts within the GREAT environment..
Learn how to approach our data like the great sculpture himself! Spend 60 min training with Advancement Services on the functionality of Michelangelo.
