I've gotten some questions about how the example in the post 'Deeper Into GiftWorks and GRAPHITE Part 1' applies to our customers.
for testing only
Let me first say that the examples posted in this blog should not be used in a real environment. They are intended to give customers some insight into the power of the Mission Research software platform. We would also like feedback from our customers so we know what you want and what direction we need to be headed in.
please backup
In all circumstances, please make a backup of your database and store it in a safe place. Mission Research cannot support any problems that arise from using my examples in this blog.
sdk
In the near future, Mission Research will release a software development kit (SDK) that documents the full functionality and provides many examples. What can I do with an SDK? With the SDK, customers can integrate their own systems around GiftWorks and the data it stores. Programs can be created to clean the donor data, extract the donor data for use in other programs or even insert data from other programs. It will also give customers the ability to add their own screens and customize the existing screens within GiftWorks as well as adjust the menus on the left side.
is that it?
Of course not. I'm sure you can think of many more uses for your organization once you fully understand the power of GiftWorks' extensibility. As I reveal more examples, please leave comments on what you're thinking and what kind of things you would like to do. I will try to respond with examples based on your suggestions.
