The Gifts tab defines how TntMPD responds to gifts, whether they are downloaded via the web or entered manually or from a file. Used for creating auto-tasks. In general, you will want to leave these options as they are defaulted.
Mark manually entered gifts as "Available on Web" by default

If your organization does not support web download of gifts, you would want to uncheck this box.

Dealing with sporadic givers
A sporadic giver is a person who pledges a certain amount at a certain frequency, but is not faithful either in the amount or the frequency. Because of this, you may enter a pledge for them, but TntMPD will be continually reminding you that they are behind on their giving. Conversely, if you do not put a pledge amount, you will be alerted to send a thank you each time they give because TntMPD will regard their gift as a special gift (if you use Automatic Action for New Gifts). Frankly, there is no way around this.
