THE NEW KOALA RELEASE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING UPDATES:

 

  • Improvements and fixes in fields and page layouts, making Koala a more intuitive and user-friendly package for end users.
    • All fields and help texts were correctly translated to view the system completely in English or Spanish.
    • The page layouts were redesigned to optimize the visualization of the information. 
  • Adaptation of Koala to NPSP Enhanced Recurring Donations: Koala now works correctly with both classic and enhanced recurring donations. 
  • Change related to the bank identifier for remittances: in the previous version it was allowed to load one bank identifier per Office of the organization. In this new release it will be possible to enter a bank identifier for each remittance bank, offering more flexibility when processing remittances. 
  • Incorporation of the possibility of defining the batch for mass processes, such as the generation of remittances, creation and update of Modelo 182 (Spain), generation of certificates, etc. This improvement will be useful when the processes have a limit due to the number of records processed, by reducing the batch, these limits are no longer reached and the process runs smoothly. 
  • Adjustments to the public access configuration for certificate generation: due to the security changes implemented by Salesforce in the Winter 21 version, the functioning of the web access to download certificates has been adapted.
