Monthly support goal

Used for calculating your support progress on the Analysis View.

First day of MPD week

Used to calculate your task activity as reported on the Analysis View. Has no bearing on your ‘calendar’ in the Schedule view.

Organization Abbreviation

Your organization's abbreviation. Appears wherever “your organization” would appear, such as the Contact > View [Org] Info. This abbreviation is automatic and is filled in when you connect to your organization.

Organization Name

Defined when you connect to your organization and select it from the drop-down list

Automatically backup this database on exit

Of course you want to do this! Again, be sure to regularly back up your file to a CD or flash drive separate from your computer. If your hard drive crashes, having your TntMPD file and your backup file on the same drive will mean the loss of all your data.

Appeals count toward pledge fulfillment

This is covered in detail in the Gifts chapter. In brief, TntMPD calculates appeals from long-time-period donors (semi-annual or annual) as part of their pledge. Uncheck this box if you always want appeals to calculate separately from pledges.

Display extended information (TntMPD Pro)

If you are managing multiple ministry accounts with TntMPD, checking this box will expand the information shown on the gift display on the MPD Tab to include Motivation Code and Designation #.
