Millennium Drive

Function Description
Installation Drive can now run on a separate IIS Server than Millennium, as long as the two servers can access each other. This allows you more flexibility in the way you deploy the products.
Configuration for Summary and Giving pages

The ability to configure the Summary and Giving pages has been added. This allows additional data to be added to the standard view, and lets you modify the page layouts.

Because of the additional configurable pages, the method used to implement the configuration has changed. You can migrate your configured page to Version 2015.1, however. See the Configurable Pages Administrator's Guide for more information.

Expand Details on the Touchpoints page From the Touchpoints page, you can now expand the details of each gift, pledge or credit to show more information about the transaction.
Performance Improvements Millennium Drive performance has been improved to reduce the CPU load when a number of users are logged in at the same time.
My Staff Dashboard View A management view of the Dashboard has been added, so that Directors of multiple Prospect Managers can view the dashboards of their direct reports, and so that assistants or researchers can view the dashboards of their associated Prospect managers or other related staff members.
UI Changes There have been a number of changes to improve the look and feel of the Millennium Drive user interface.

Diagnostic Tools

Millennium system administrators can access a new set of diagnostic tools to help them manage and troubleshoot the system. The tools include:

  • Check the structure of all Millennium Database Views—This test checks every database view in Millennium to determine whether the views have the same structure as their target tables. This test can help diagnose missing fields, column order issues, or fields that are included in a view that are not represented in the target table.

See Diagnostic Tools.

Audit Logging The Coverage table has been added to the list of tables that can use audit logging.

Top Of Page

Advanced Data Examiner and ADE Import Tool

Issue # Function Description
M16347 ADE Auto Update The ADE Auto Update process would previously fail if the import source (ADE Source Lookup) contained a space. The Auto Update process has been revised to handle spaces in the ADE Source Lookup value.
M16545 ADE Soft Edit Access When a user with Soft Edit access to the Data Examiner updated employment records, the update was not assigned to an ADE Import Source, preventing the ADE update. This condition has been corrected so that users with Soft Edit access can update employment records in the Data Examiner.
M16360 ADE Post Payment-Credit Card The Credit Card type was not carried forward to the Credit Card form from the Post Payment form when posting pledge payments. The Credit Card type value (cctype) is now saved and populates the Credit Card form when posting pledge payments.
M16703 ADE Import Tool An error occurred if the ADE Import Tool was launched from a workstation when the website was using SSL. The product has been updated to support the connection between the SSL site and the workstation without issuing an error.
M17272 ADE Import Tool An apostrophe in the Event name caused an error on import. This condition is handled by the ADE Import Tool in version 2015.1.
M17353 ADE Import Tool Under rare conditions, a system error could occur when selecting an existing map to edit. This has been corrected in version 2015.1.
M17574 ADE Setup When setting up System Defaults, the Data Examiner System Default view was disabled for Non-Constituent relationships. You can now define a Non-Constituent relationship default in the ADE.

Profiles

Issue # Category Description
M15672 Wealth Engine This list of Wealth Engine users now sorts alphabetically.
M16547 Biographical Profile In some cases non-English alphabetic characters did not resolve correctly. An html decoder has been added to support a wider range of characters for text fields.
M16785 Delete Constituent If you delete a Constituent that has Coverage, the system now deletes the Coverage record in addition to the Basic Data.
M17045 Giving Detail Clicking Finish or Cancel from the Giving Detail view returned you to the first gift by the Constituent. Now you are returned to the transaction you were viewing when you selected the Detail view.
M17057 Giving Detail

Giving Detail view did not refresh when viewing Giving Detail for one donor and then moving to another donor using Profiles > Next Search menu. This has been corrected in version 2015.1.

M17058 Giving Detail The Relations view does not refresh when viewing the gift’s Giving Detail for a donor if the user moves to the Biographical > Relations menu.

This has been corrected in version 2015.1.

M17059 Giving Detail The Address view does not refresh when viewing the gift’s Giving Detail for a donor, if the user jumps to Biographical > Address menu. The Address view generates an error “Couldn't open Address File. Please contact the system administrator.” This has been corrected in version 2015.1.
M17060 Giving Detail The Basic Data view does not refresh when viewing the gift’s Giving Detail for a donor, if the user jumps to Biographical > Basic Data menu. The Basic Data view is empty. This has been corrected in version 2015.1.
M17465 Biographical Data Copying text that contained bullets into a field showed the bullets as an encoded character (%95). Bullets will be correctly displayed in version 2015.1.
M17473 Giving Detail On the Transaction Detail form for a pledge, the Add, Delete, and Finish buttons appeared enabled on the Payment Schedule view for read-only users. These buttons were not active, and read-only users could not process transactions. The display has been updated to disable the buttons for read-only users in version 2015.1.
M17477 Relationships The system retained a relationship flag by the Constituent's name without regard to the expiration date for the relationship. The flag should only be visible if the Constituent has active relationships in the system. This behavior has been corrected in version 2015.1.

M16783 Hotkey A system issue that caused Millennium to crash when the hotkey "V" was used has been corrected.

Issue # Function Description
M15592 Profile Lookup Tables—Attribute Types Removing the Jobs table link made the Education table unavailable for linking from an Attribute type. This condition has been corrected, and the Education table remains available when you remove the Jobs table link.
M16183 WealthEngine Setup The search results lookup that was associating the Number of Properties value and the Financial demographics settings has been corrected. The correct values for Financial demographics are now returned.
M16379 System Option Inserting a duplicate preferred name now produces a warning from both Name>Insert and Name>Insert via Default options. The warning was not produced when inserted via system default.
M16491 User Security The system previously disabled the Change Password option for any user ID beginning with the characters sa. This prevented users from changing the system administrator password, but also affected any other user whose user ID began with those characters. The product has been updated so that only the SQL system administrator ID shipped with the product is restricted from the password change utility.
M16853 System Upkeep If the default queue name contained spaces, the report run-time options would default to HTML instead of PDF. This condition has been corrected in version 2015.1.
M17077 User Security In earlier versions, if a special character was entered in the comment field of the user profile (Tools>System Upkeep>User Security>Select a User), and then the profile was saved, the save process would not save the comment and would remove the associated Constituent ID. This has been corrected in version 2015.1.
M17266 Tax Receipting On entering a new tax receipt, if you clear the form and try to type in start and end date, a SQL error was issued. This form has been updated to prevent the error.
M17317 System Options Updates to the setting Display Death with Basic Data were not retained in the Oracle database. This occurred because of the way Oracle was attempting to write the changed value. The system has been updated to correct this issue in version 2015.1.
M17569 Custom Display Designer An error could occur when Millennium and Millennium Drive were running on the same IIS server. The system generated the "MillScreenCustomizer" Run-time error '5': “Invalid procedure call or argument" when the Custom Display Designer was accessed. This occurred because the Custom Display Designer requires access to Port 80, and Millennium Drive also uses Port 80. The compatibility between Millennium and Millennium Drive on the same IIS server has been improved in version 2015.1, and this error should no longer occur.
