01
akoyaGO · New Feature

Conditional logic in letter templates

Major Feature

Add if/then logic directly in your Word templates

Letter templates in akoyaGO can now adjust their content automatically based on the information you enter. The result is more accurate, consistent communication without manually editing templates each time.

Conditional logic is especially useful when foundations need different wording depending on a recipient's details, program type, eligibility status, or other conditions.

What this helps with
Reduce repetitive template editing
Improve consistency across outreach and correspondence
Save time when generating letters for different scenarios
02
akoyaGO with Accounting

Interfund & accounting integrity

Improvement

General Ledger lines for interfund transfers

Interfund transfer postings in Business Central now generate exactly two G/L lines, correcting prior behavior that produced extra lines.

What's changing
1Exactly one line reflects the deduction from the gifting fund
2Exactly one line reflects the credit to the receiving fund
3No extra vendor or customer lines are produced
Why
Cleaner accounting outputs and fewer reconciliations.
Improvement

No premature interfund records

Related Request, Gift, and Payment records are no longer created until the user clicks Send to Accounting. Record creation is now tied directly to that action.

Why
Prevents partial or premature records that lead to rework.
Deprecation

Older interfund workflows retired

Older interfund creation and reversal workflows are being deprecated and turned off, aligning all users with the newer process. Specific Convert, Create, Send, and Update workflows are now labeled Deprecated and disabled in the solution.

Why
Reduces confusion and prevents use of outdated automation paths.
Improvement

Updated conversion workflow

The Convert to Interfund workflow now aligns with the newer process and no longer attempts to create child records too early.

What's changing
1Adds timeline notes explaining the conversion
2Deactivates the payment
3Marks request special status as canceled
Why
Prevents broken links and inconsistent record creation.
03
akoyaGO with Accounting

Interfund grant adjustments & voids

New Capability

Void and adjust interfund grants with correct GL behavior

For interfund grants with valid payment statuses, users can now perform reversals (void) or adjustments — and the accounting follows correctly.

When voiding
1Users provide a Reversal Date
2The interfund grant is reversed in Business Central using two G/L lines
3Related records update accordingly — request denial, linked payment status, reversal amounts and dates, gift adjustment value
When adjusting
1Users provide adjustment details (dates, fund transfers, gift and grant accounts/functions)
2The system reverses the original and creates a new interfund grant record
3The new record is immediately sent to accounting
Why
Foundation staff can correct interfund activity without manual accounting cleanup.
Improvement

Locked records after Send to Accounting

Interfund grant records that already contain a payment status are now locked from modification — fields become read-only after the record is sent or reversed.

Why
Protects accounting integrity and prevents accidental changes.
04
akoyaGO · GOverify

Block GOverify runs on exempt records

Fix

Clear alerts for exempt records

Users now see a clear banner-style alert when they try to run GOverify on records marked as GOverify Exempt. The action is blocked with a straightforward message.

Why
Prevents wasted time and confusion when a record isn't eligible to be processed.
05
GOapply · Major Feature Update

Organization Profile, reimagined

Major Feature

Applicant Panels now pull from the saved profile

When an Applicant Panel loads, the application now automatically pulls in the most current Organization Profile information. Users no longer need to re-enter organization details that already exist in the system, eliminating duplication and mismatches.

Validation has also been strengthened at the moments that matter most:

Validation rules
The Organization Profile must be complete and valid before users can proceed through flows that depend on organization data
If incomplete, the user is redirected to the Organization Profile page to fill in required details, then re-checked after saving
If still not valid, the user is prompted again until requirements are met — or progress is blocked with a clear, helpful message
Feature

Manage profiles outside an application

Authorized organization users can now update the Organization Profile at any time, independent of a specific application or grant cycle. Organization details stay current without waiting for — or depending on — an active application to make changes.

Improvement

Automatic Applicant Panel mapping

For applicant forms using the Organization Profile flow, Applicant Panel mappings are now handled automatically.

What's changing
Applicant Panels on forms are mapped to the Parent Constituent of the logged-in organization user
The foundation/client cannot modify this mapping
Other applicant panel mappings or panel types beyond the organization Applicant Panel are not supported in this workflow
Improvement

Submission-time re-check

Before submission on organization-data-required flows, the system re-verifies that the user still has a valid Parent Constituent and a valid Organization Profile associated with the Applicant Panel and organization context.

If anything has changed since the form was started — such as an organization profile becoming incomplete or a context becoming invalid — submission is blocked with a clear error message instructing the user to fix the Organization Profile issue first.

Improvement

Pending change requests don't block applications

If the Organization Profile has a pending change request, a disclaimer banner appears on the Organization Profile and related pages to communicate that changes are under review.

Editing behavior
Users associated with the same Parent Constituent can't edit while the pending change request is active
Pending change requests do not block application progress on their own
If Organization Profile information is included in exported documents, appended content in generated PDFs includes a clear disclaimer and shows the proposed/requested changes
Improvement

PDFs follow per-phase rules — and protect anonymous reviewers

PDF behavior regarding Organization Profile content is now controlled by per-phase settings. The current Organization Profile may be appended as the first page, the last page, or not appended at all — and PDFs will never include Organization Profile content for anonymous reviewers.

06
GOapply

Usability & reliability fixes

Fix

Review portal PDFs work in Safari

GOapply reviewers using Safari can now reliably view review PDFs in the review portal. The blank or black screen issue on Safari is resolved.

Why
Reviewers can complete reviews without switching browsers or losing access to critical materials.
Fix

Scholarship automatch reopen behavior

When a scholarship automatch application is reopened, previously selected scholarships now stay selected.

What's changing
Users no longer have to de-select and re-select scholarships
Submit All remains available for reopened applications, including situations involving automatic opt-in
Fix

Reviewer PDF header and template fixes

What's improving
Scholarship Name now appears in the header of requested scholarship PDFs
Reviewers no longer see GUID text appended when a dropdown program mapping is used
Fix

HTML editor numbered lists render correctly

Numbered lists created in the HTML editor now keep numbering and content on the same line, rather than inserting an unintended line break. Instruction text appears correctly to applicants.

07
GOapply · Form Builder

Form authoring reliability

Fix

No more lost question names or mapping overwrites

When questions are added inside panels in the Simple Form Builder, they now receive unique question names by default. Questions inside panels no longer overwrite each other when submitted.

Why
Foundation staff can build complex forms with confidence that responses will save to the correct panel context.
Fix

Currency branching logic works correctly

Currency questions used in branching logic no longer get an unintended period appended to the question name. Branching logic now evaluates against the original question name, so logic triggers correctly and applicants don't get the wrong form behavior.

Deprecation

valueName attribute deprecated in advanced form editor

For GOmanager form editors covered by this update, the question-level valueName is no longer shown or set via the form builder UI.

What's changing
1The valueName property can't be set using the editor UI
2If an affected editor saves a form containing question-level valueName, reopening may remove it from the saved definition
3Existing lookup/autocomplete behavior that depends on nested configuration remains working
Why
Helps prevent configuration errors and keeps existing mapping behavior stable.
08
GOapply & GOmanager

Data accuracy fixes

Fix

Lock all address fields for existing constituents

When a GOapply user registers by selecting an existing constituent, all address fields are now locked — including Country, which previously remained editable. Prevents accidental changes and inconsistent address data.

Fix

Number-field step rules prevent invalid decimals

Simple Form Builder and mapped scholarship panel number fields now enforce correct Step behavior. Integer-mapped fields restrict whole-number responses, and decimal-mapped fields enforce the appropriate decimal increment. Prevents mapping errors caused by invalid user input.

Fix

eGrant.net attachments tab removed from requests

The eGrant.net Attachments tab is no longer shown on Requests, avoiding confusion when users expected eGrant-related content.

09
GOfund · UI & Operations

A cleaner fund advisor experience

Improvement

Reduce clutter on the GOfund home page

The GOfund home page can now be simplified by optionally removing the Grant Recommendation and Grant History boxes. A configuration option hides those home page elements while keeping navigation access — fewer distractions for fund advisors and fewer questions about which option is "better."

Improvement

Easier-to-confirm grant recommendations

Several improvements to clarity and usability within grant recommendation flows.

What's changing
1Grant Amount formatting adds commas for values greater than 999
2The shopping cart supports "Recommend another grant" to reduce clicks when making multiple recommendations
3Foundations can configure helper text across standard grant recommendation fields
4Foundations can control whether the anonymous checkbox appears for grant recommendations
5Foundations can optionally remove anonymous checkbox content from the form (with flexibility to place it elsewhere)
Why
Clearer data entry and fewer mistakes lead to smoother recommendations.
Feature

Optional off-switch for one-time donation confirmation emails

Foundations can now suppress automated one-time donation confirmation emails for GOdonate and GOfund.

What's changing
1A new DisableAutomatedConfirmationEmail setting exists on GOdonate settings
2If enabled, one-time donation confirmation emails are suppressed
3Recurring gift confirmation emails remain unaffected
Why
Foundations control when and how donors are contacted.
Improvement

Friendlier GOfund error experiences

GOfund error pages have been redesigned to be more user-friendly for external users.

What's changing
1Error messages are shorter and calmer
2Pages include brief next steps (for example, contacting the foundation or trying again)
3Support and reference identifiers remain available for correlation
4Accessibility and responsive behavior are preserved
Why
Reduces confusion and helps donors know what to do next.
10
GOdonate · Donation & Checkout

A more guided checkout

Feature

Edit checkout details with guided inputs

On the donation checkout page, users can now edit key donation details more safely and consistently.

What's changing
1Fund selection uses a drop-down menu (no free-text entry)
2Dedication edits use a dedicated modal that mirrors the dedication section
3Designated Purpose and Notification edits use modals that mirror those respective sections
4Users can also edit the donation Amount
5Related notifications are included as part of the flow
Why
Fewer mistakes and a more guided experience during checkout.
Improvement

Hide designated purpose when disabled

If the foundation has disabled Enable Designated Giving in GOdonate settings, the Designated Purpose column no longer appears on the transaction review page before checkout. The checkout page now matches configured options and avoids confusion.

Improvement

Show recurring gift start and end dates

Recurring gifts now clearly show both start and end dates on the GOdonate checkout experience. Donors and staff can confirm schedule details before completing the gift.

Deprecation

Weekly recurring gift options removed

Weekly recurrence is no longer available when creating or editing recurring gifts in GOdonate.

What's changing
The Weekly option is removed during creation
Existing recurring gifts can't be changed to weekly on edit
Why
Avoids unsupported or unexpected scheduling.
Improvement

Cart and basket capacity updates

The shopping cart and basket experience has been improved to better support multiple donations.

What's changing
1Basket capacity increases from 6 to 12 donations
2When the basket is full, users now receive a clear message on the Shopping Cart page
3The basket icon now shows both the item count and the total dollar value
Why
Users can understand cart status at a glance and avoid interruptions.
Improvement

Improved donation and fund catalog browsing

Donors can more easily find and compare funds. Funds can be listed in an order that supports easier browsing, and fund catalog ordering can be changed (for example, to reflect fundholder name lookup expectations). Smoother discovery means fewer support requests and helps donors select the right fund.
