Announcing Altru Patch 11

We are pleased to announce the release of Altru version 2.9, patch 11, which includes the following new features and enhancements:

• A Refund date field now appears on the Add a refund screen and the Refund security deposit screen. The field displays today’s date and is disabled.
• The status summary section of a refund record now displays the refund’s post status and post date.
• When you add a print membership card process, you can now select to only print cards for new members, renewed members, or rejoined members. When you add a print membership card process, you can now select to only print cards for new members, renewed members, or rejoined members. For example, if you send a different letter to new members than you do to renewed members, you can easily separate the two processes.

To limit the print membership card process, on the Add a print membership card process screen, click the Limit to checkbox, and then select New members, Renewed members, or Rejoined members. If you do not select to limit the process, all membership cards will be included.  See below:
