Millennium Display Options
System Display Options are institutional customizations of how Millennium displays to the users. Some System Options determine the text that is displayed on buttons and labels. Others pertain to how sensitive information, such as bank account numbers, are displayed to the users. The options that are set here apply to all of the users at your site.
The following topics describe the Millennium System Display Options:
Results Displays
Several tasks that users perform within Millennium (Profiles Searches, for example) result in displaying a list of constituents. The system shows certain pieces of information about each listed constituent, such as ID number, name and contact information, by default. Your site can customize the each constituent list display for all of your users by using Results and Lists Display forms. Your site can decide what pieces of constituent information to display, and the order in which to display them.
Display Masks
Display masks determine how a field will display to the Millennium user.
The System-Defined Default display masks for the Social Security Number, Drivers License Number, and Bank Account Number fields are determined here. These are the display masks that will be used for all users who belong to an Millennium User Group that is assigned to the Default Mask display mask option.
See the Group Maintenance topic for how to assign display masks to Millennium User Groups.
Note: The fields on Data Maintenance forms will remain unmasked no matter what display mask a User Group is assigned to.
The System-Defined Display Masks default to the following for each field:
Display Mask |
Default |
---|---|
Social Security |
#####9999 |
Drivers License | ###############9999 |
Bank Account |
################9999 |
To set the system's default Display Masks:
- Access the Display Options page by using Millennium Explorer, .
- Click the Maintenance button
located below and to the left of the Display Options header.
- In each of the Social Security Display Mask, Drivers License Display Mask, or Bank Account Display Mask boxes, enter the number 9 for each of the digits that you want to display as digits, and enter a pound sign # for each of the digits that you want to mask.
- Click OK.
Search Results Display
When the system returns the results of a Profiles Search, Millennium will display, for each constituent who matches the Search criteria:
- ID Number
- Formatted Name
- Line 1, City, State, and Zip Code from the preferred address
- Constituent type
- Preferred Year
Your site can add additional fields to, remove fields from and change the order of the display by using the Define Search Results form.
ADE Search Results Display
Similarly, when the Advanced Data Examiner (ADE) is used to process new constituents, it can be set up to match potential new constituents to existing constituents by using the ADE Matching Levels as the Search criteria. For each constituent who matches, Millennium will display:
- ID Number
- Formatted Name
- Line 1, City, State, and Zip Code from the preferred address
- Constituent type
- Preferred Year
If your site wants different information to display, then the ADE Search Results Display form can be used to modify this system default display.
My Staff List Display
A Director can retrieve a list of his or her Staff by using the Millennium Explorer item. A Director's Assistant or Researcher can impersonate the Director, and retrieve the Director's Staff list as well. For each Staff member that is listed, the system will show:

- Job Title
- Type of Director/Prospect Manager relationship
- email Address, preferred
- Phone Number from the preferred address record
If desired, the information that displays for the My Staff Favorites listing can be changed by using the My Staff Display form. In particular, you may want to add the count of each Manager's Prospects to the display.
My Prospects List Display
A Prospect Manager can view a list of his or her own Prospects from the Millennium Explorer item. A Prospect Manager's Assistant or Researcher can view a list of the Managers' Prospects as well by using the Millennium Explorer item and then click on the name of a Prospect Manager.
When the Prospect List displays, it will show for each prospect:

About the Results Display Forms
The Results Display forms are accessed from the Display Options page. They share the same components and have similar functionality.
The form contains two lists. Available Columns and Saved Columns.
The Available Columns list lists all of the fields from the Basic Data, Address, Name data tables, except for Social Security Number). This list is built by retrieving entries from the fieldlst system table and displays in alphabetical order by field Alias. The names of fields that reference a lookup table will be listed two times so that you can display the field by its lookup table code or its lookup table value. And, a special field for the formatted City/Place/Zip has been added to the list of available Address table columns.
The My Staff Display form also includes fields from the Internet Address, Employment, Phone, and Relation data tables. And, if you wish to display a count of each Prospect Manager's Prospects, a Prospect Count field is included in the Available Columns list as well.
The My Prospects Display form also includes fields from the Donor Tracking, Internet Address, Employment, Phone, and Relation data tables.
The Saved Columns list will list the fields that will be shown on the constituent list displays, and the order in which they will be shown. Items that are added into the Saved Columns list will be added to the bottom of the list. The form Move Up and Move down buttons can be used to move them into the order that you desire.
There are eight buttons on each form.
- Add: Moves a field from the Available Columns list over to the Saved Columns list. Fields can be added to the Saved Columns list by clicking name of the field that you want to add and then click on Add. When fields are added, they are added to the bottom of the list.
- Remove: Moves the field from the Saved Columns list back to the Available Columns list. Fields can be removed from the Saved Columns list by clicking the name of the field that you want to remove then click on Remove. Fields that are removed from the Saved Columns list are added back to the Available Columns list in alphabetical order.
- Move Up: Moves the selected item in the Saved Columns list up one row.
- Move Down: Moves the selected item in the Saved Columns list down one row.
- Change Alias: This button is used to change the Alias name that is listed in the Available Columns list or Saved Columns list and then update the alias field in the fieldlst table with these changes. Choose a field from one of the lists. The Field Alias will display in a text box. The Table Name and code/value designation (if present) will be removed from the Alias. Change the Field Alias and click Save. The Alias will be updated in the fieldlst table, and in this list as well.
- Clear All: Removes every field name, except Formatted Name, from the Saved Columns list.
- OK: Saves the Saved Columns list to the sysinfo system table, the System Display Options page, and to the system cache, and returns to the System Display Options page. Any changes made are immediately available for all users.
