@EASE Qualities - Characteristics about your Donors, Funders and more
Qualities in @EASE are general characteristics. They are also used to create temporary holding areas for a set of records that a user may wish to retrieve.
The Other Utilities menu enables the charity to remove groups from a Quality category. This facilitates cleaning so that unnecessary codes can be removed from the Qualities table.
Quality Table Values:
Note, we recommend a prefix for tables of a like type. Table values are 25 characters long so being succinct is important.
Segmenting by Business
Segmenting Corporate records by Type of Business can be useful to determine who is supporting a charity and those that have not yet donated or sponsored.
Example: Businesses Bus: Banks ... is useful. Where there are numerous banks supporting a general value looks at all companies included where a further subgroup could also be useful.
Staff Positions
Example: Positions ... Pos: Sponsorships We recommend a Position quality for all Contacts so charity staff knows why they have been included and the role they play in helping the charity raise funds. Contacts can have more than one position depending on all the roles they play. Titles are not always the best indicator.
