Add media files to gift records

If you want to add electronic documentation that refers to a specific gift, the only way to do so is to add it to the constituent through the "media" tab. If a constituent gives many gifts over many years, then this list of electronic documents will become difficult to sift through and navigate.Furthermore, it is in a completely separate tab from the list of gifts to which the documentation refers, making it further difficult to navigate. It would be much easier to add documentation directly to a specific gift record (as can be done easily and transparently in eTapestry). It would be great to be able to do this in Raiser's Edge.

    Hey there. I love the idea! Unfortunately this isn't something that we will be adding in RE7 for a variety of reasons, including the fact that media files in RE7 are stored in a way that has the potential to bloat the RE database and slow down the application. I will say thought that this is something that we have already added to RE NXT web view, so in general we totally agree with this feedback and have already done something to address it in the latest version of RE.
