Why is it that if the user account enters a wrong password 6 times, the account will be locked out?
PCI Compliance states that if the user account enters a wrong password 6 times without a successful login, the account should be locked out. Those who had their account locked out can either reach out to Coreware Support from the Coreware Help Desk or have another admin on their site unlock their account.
Why is it that when an admin has not logged in for several months, they would no longer have login credentials and are advised to reach out to Coreware Support?
PCI Compliance states that passwords have to be changed every 90 days and administrators who don't log in for 90 days are made inactive. Those who had their account deactivated can reach out to Coreware Support from the Coreware Help Desk or have another admin on their site reactivate their account.
Why are users required to periodically create a new password that has never been used before?
PCI Compliance clearly and unequivocally states that the password needs to be changed every 90 days and the new password cannot be one of the five previously used passwords.
How do I print single receipts or summary receipts for donors who did not receive theirs in the mail?
If you are trying to reprint a single, individual receipt, you would just put in the donation ID, uncheck "Ignore donations whose receipt is already sent" and check "Send NO emails, download only". If you are trying to reprint a single, year-end receipt, you would select "Summary" for receipt type, enter the Donor ID, put in start and end dates, and check "Send NO Emails, download only".
