From the Brief Description screen, you can define the brief description that displays on the online donation wizard control and online donation listing control.

column of the WEB_PRODUCT_INFO table. If you make a change to the brief
web description and you do NOT see your changes on the web, please see

If
an appeal was added to the gift on the General
Setup screen and the selected appeal has a defined premium, it is
recommended that you describe for donors what it is that will receive
using the short web description. Then, when they see that premium item
listed on the Thank
You page, they will recognize it even if they do not know what the
caption ‘Donor Incentive’ means.

Screen Element |
Description |
|---|---|
Add |
Button. When clicked, a row is added to the Languages table and the corresponding fields are enabled to add a language and description. |
Delete |
Button. When clicked, the highlighted row from the table and the information entered in the Languages and Description Text fields are deleted. |
Language |
Drop-down. Identifies the language of the text. This allows descriptive text to be shown on the website based on the language of the customer. Values are populated based on the options defined on the Language Maintenance (APP004) screen.
|
Edit Text |
Button. When clicked, opens the HTML Editor Dialog window. This allows you to edit any previously created descriptions. You can enter the brief description using a Design Window or a Code Window.
The Design Window displays the HTML text editor tools, which are used to format the text similar to Microsoft Word. Some benefits of HTML includes the ability to emphasize text, use block quotations, and use diagrams or mathematical formulas. The problems with using HTML include compatibility issues, privacy attacks, increased spam, and large message sizes.
The Code Window is used to enter the brief description in unformatted plain text. Even though this method is unformatted, it can be used without very much processing readable by simple computer tools, such as line printing text commands in Windows DOS window type. |
You can only create one brief
description record per language for each product.
