Notes from the Programmers

Recent browser updates have allowed Allegiance to upgrade all of our web components and utilize the latest version of our third party controls. This was a massive undertaking, and affected the majority of our web pages. We are in the process of delivering this web update to our clients, but because this requires Allegiance staff to log onto your web server, it will take some time to distribute these updates to everyone. This is a complete update of your web components, and is called Web Version 9.1.2.

The most notable changes will be in the Donation Tracker, Campaign Report, Survey Results Report, Online Activity Display Report, and Volunteer Web Register page. The grids have all been updated and have much more functionality. A new color scheme is also in use for better aesthetics and readability. While we were making these upgrades it was determined that the login pages needed updating, and the overall page font was changed to the browser's default Sans Serif font. These changes should give our users an improved overall experience.

The Web Version 9.1.2 gives you the flexibility to use any modern browser with these pages, not just Internet Explorer (IE), including Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. We're pretty excited about the changes and hope you will be too. Please go to the User Forum and let us know what you think!

It is imperative that your web server have the latest Windows update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4. Without this update, donors using IE10 or IE11 may have issues when making a web pledge. We sent out an email on March 10, 2014 providing the information about this update. If you missed the email, here is the link to Microsoft's Knowledge Base article, and a link to the download site with the necessary update.

Provide a personalized level of customer service for your donor by overriding the minimum payment on the premium or gift they selected and send it to them a little bit sooner. It's easy to do if you have the Expanded Premium module.
