We're constantly updating and enhancing ChurchSuite, often building directly upon customer feedback to guide our development. The following lists some changes that were made to ChurchSuite between 15th February - 18th March 2019.

Adding and Editing attendance within the Small Groups module is now running through a modal.

A giver reference set by a user must now be at least 3 characters in length. This will ensure that all giver references are searchable in all Giving module search boxes. References imported will be automatically padded with leading zeroes if less than 3 characters.
https://support.churchsuite.com/article/120-adding-a-new-giver13-Mar-2019 - Donation pledge matching
Donations will now be auto-allocated to a pledge if:
- There's a single pledge for the fund on the donation date.
- There are multiple pledges for the fund on the donation date and the donation amount is either an exact multiple of the recurring amount or the exact one-off amount.
Donations will not be matched to a pledge where the donation could match multiple pledges based on fund and date, but the amount is neither a multiple of the recurring amount nor equal to the one-off amount.

We've tweaked the workflow when adding a new Booking such that there's no longer a default "Type", instead the option is left as "Please Select". This should prevent bookings being added to an incorrect type as you'll need to choose your desired type before you can add the initial booking.
