Donation Tracker

Back Ups

Your Donation Tracker database and accounting files are your most critical data assets. They should be backed up before and after any significant amount of data entry and/or use. For most groups, this means backing these files up everyday. Groups that do a lot of data entry should consider backing up their database after each major data entry session.

Donation Tracker Data Distribution

At Cascade Data Solutions, we are committed to finding ways to meet the needs of our users.

The use of computers in the workplace has evolved exponentially over the last decade to where communicating electronically is now a part of our everyday lives. Because of this, several of the United Way's we serve have desired to communicate more frequently with board members and/or volunteers through the use of email. One desire mentioned to us is the ability to email a Donation Tracker report. One of the easiest ways to email any document is to send it in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. As you may know, Adobe Acrobat Reader has the ability to read PDF files and since Adobe Acrobat Reader is so commonly used (and free to download) we set out to find a cost effective PDF writing solution. From our search we discovered a free product called CutePDF Writer which is designed to help you convert any printable document (such as a Donation Tracker report or Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, or Excel document) into a PDF file. This product is Freeware, which means it is 100% free to use and distribute. Our desire is that this PDF writing solution will help your office communicate more easily, effectively, and in the end hopefully save you a few pennies.
