System, Check For Orphaned Donations

 

This feature only applies to the in-house version of DonorQuest. Orphan donations can never occur with the online version of DonorQuest.

 

If a workstation were to lose network connectivity during the deletion of a donor account, it could result in orphaned donations - donations which exist in the database, but which have no associated donor account. To detect and remove any such donations, click on System, Check For Orphaned Donations.

 

Note that if you are running DonorQuest on a network, you should enable the client/server mode of operation by activating the DonorQuest Server Component. This will move all data-intensive operations to the file server where they can be most efficiently and securely implemented. If you are not running the DonorQuest Server component, and you are using DonorQuest on a network, you are forcing DonorQuest to move a lot of information across the network connection between your workstation and the file server. Doing so will stress your network, slow DonorQuest performance, and make it more likely that any instabilities in your network will surface to cause problems.
