Has anyone found a use for Campaign and/or Fund Annotations? I didn't realize they existed until today (after 17 years). Since they can be queried, I am considering using it as a flag to indicate our current Annual Appeal Campaign. This should make my annual roll-over process for exports and reports much simpler.

    Annotations where? I see the notes field, but I don't know if I'd use that for any kind of coding. Attributes could work for you...

    We used them when we did a revamp of our campaigns to tell what the former equivilent fund was. That is the only reason though.
