Click Save. Save closes the window and takes you back to the Content page.

Note:

Donor Roll will not pull in a member's profile picture.
Offline donations are supported as long as the constituent form submission is completed by skipping billing on the admin side. In this example, Donor Roll pulls from the First and Last Name as long as the record has a value.
Imported gifts are supported as long as the constituent records have a value in Home State and Country.
Scheduled Payment gifts are recognized for the full promised amount on the Donor Roll.
Subsequent Perpetual payments cause a new row to be added to the donor roll. The new row shows the amount charged today (not the total charged to date).

Saving Donor Roll Template

You can save the Donor Roll Template so that you can use the saved template next time without creating the similar one from scratch.

When you create a New Donor Roll, click Save as Template option at the bottom of the page. This will prompt you to enter the Template Name and then click Save.

Note: When you try to save the Donor Roll Template with a duplicate name, Encompass will not accept and throws up an Error.
