Although Causeview Impact Designer allows you to specify allocation information for a Form in the backend, you are also able to add a Dynamic Fund Selector on the Form to allow donors to select which fund they would like to give to. The fund the donor selects on the form will override the allocation information specified for the Form in the backend.
You can customize the list of Funds the donor can choose from through Data Lists. You must create a Data List first to be able to use it with the Dynamic Fund Selector.
Please note that when using a Dynamic Fund Selector on the form, 100% of the donation gets allocated to the Fund the donor selects.
This articles covers how to:
Add a Dynamic Fund Selection Control on a Form
1) On the left Control panel, under the Form Fields section, drag Dynamic Fund Selection over to your desired area on the form.
2)A properties window will appear on your screen. Supply the following information:
"Please select a data list" - Enter the name of the Data List you wish to use.
"Please enter a label" - Allows you to change the label for the fund drop down on the form. By default, the field is labeled "Fund". For example, you may choose to change the label to "Please tell us where you would like your gift to go".
Click on Add to Form when you are done.
3) Remember to save your changes by clicking on Save found on the menu on top of the form.
4) To publish your changes, go to Form from the top menu and click on Publish Form. A dialogue box will display asking you to confirm. Click on publish to continue.
Make Changes to your Fund Data List
From time to time you may want to make adjustments to the list of Funds that is displayed by the Dynamic Fund Selector on the form. You can do this in 2 ways:
- Select a different Data List to use, OR
- You can edit the existing Data List that the form is already using
Select a Different Data List
1) Click on the Dynamic Fund Selection control on the form to select it. Then, on the Properties panel on the right, click on the search icon beside Data List.
2) A window containing Data Lists will display on the screen. You can use the category drop down menu on the top right to view Data Lists by category. Click on Assign beside the Data List you wish to use. You may also choose to create a new Data List by clicking on Create New at the bottom right.

Edit Existing Data List
1) If you would like to make changes to the existing Data List the Dynamic Fund Selector on the form is already using, click on the Dynamic Fund Selection Control on the form first to select it. Then on the Properties panel on the right, click on the edit icon beside the Data List.
2) A window will open, containing a list of Funds in your Data List.
- "Default" - is the default Fund selected in the drop down menu when the donor goes to the form
- "Value" - is the Salesforce ID of the Fund. This must always be populated with the correct Salesforce ID for the Fund in Causeview or else the form will fail to write the allocation.
- "Label" - is the text the donor sees on the form
You can remove a Fund from the list by clicking on the red X beside the Fund. You can add new items by clicking on "Add Item".
Click on Save Data List to save any changes you make to the Data List. You must also remember to save the form by clicking on Save found in the menu on top of the form. To publish your changes, go to Form and click on Publish Form.
