Online Express: Membership Form Setup VS Donation Form Set up

Lisa Rizzo

1. In the donation form set up, you can add additional gift attributes... why are we not able to add either additional membership attributes or additional gift attributes to the membership form set up?



If I need specific fields or other fields than what are included, what are my options?



For example: with a household membership, I want to know how many children are in their household. Shouldn't that be an option to add as a membership attribute?



2. In the donation form set up, you can set a min. amount for donation, but in the membership form set up there is a "do you wish to allow additional donations", but there is no place to set a minimum amount?



3. In the donation form set up, there is a comment section. Where is the comment section for the membership form?

Hello Lisa!

Unfortunately at this time the options you are looking for: attributes in the membership forms, minimum amounts in the additional donation fields in the membership forms and comments in the membership forms are not part of the programming for the module.

Our developers look here to plan for possible additions to upcoming versions.

Thanks for your reply Ian. I already submitted the idea - https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/356/21165



Regarding the example of our need for capturing the number of children in a membership, that field is already built into the membership module located in "Other Members and Card Information" in Raisers Edge and would not necessairly be an additional attribute. I love the new online express, but I just think the flexability of the membership form is less than the donation form.
