Summary

The self-service reports in My Prospect Alerts — a tab on the My Fundraiser page — provide accurate and timely information for development officers related to both their assigned and unassigned prospects. This guide explains how to use the Steps and Interactions subtab.

Key Takeaways

  • Understand parameters and outputs of the Steps and Interactions subtab of the My Prospect Alerts tab.
  • Such information is confidential and may only be used in accordance with WFAA’s polices, including its data disclosure and confidentiality policies.

When to Use

The My Prospect Alerts — Steps and Interactions Report outputs a list of all pending or completed steps or interactions entered, by any staff, for prospects (or a prospect’s spouse) that the user has engaged within the past year.

Specifically, the output includes all prospects for which a user is a plan manager (primary, secondary, secondary solicitor) on an active plan, or an owner or additional solicitor of any interaction in the last 12 months or any step in pending/planned status.

The output, by default, includes steps or interactions entered into ABE in the previous two weeks or scheduled to occur in the coming two weeks. Dates can be edited to provide any desired time frame and reflect the entered-on date for completed steps/interactions or the contact date for pending steps/interactions.

This is a self-service report available to WFAA development staff and campus users who have the prospect and plan management role and have agreed to maintain the information’s confidentiality and to use it only in accordance with WFAA’s polices, including its data disclosure and confidentiality policies.

The report is only available to be viewed online and cannot be exported to any other format.
