How to Add the New Pledge and New Pledge Payment Actions to Page Layouts: https://help.pm.leapevent.tech/a/1173521

Actions are a great way to streamline the data entry process.  If Pledges and Pledge Payments were already set up in your account in Classic, then you'll need to create the New Pledge and New Pledge Payment actions, and then add them to various page layouts.

In this article, we'll:

  1. Set up the New Pledge Payment action and add it to the Pledge page layout
  2. Set up the New Pledge action and add it to the Account and Contact page layouts

This should take about an hour - let's go for it!

This is the last step to complete pledge setup - if you haven't set up pledges (or aren't sure if you have) head to this article to configure the pledges feature in your account.

1. Set up the New Pledge Payment action and add it to the Pledge page layout

In this step, we'll configure the "New Pledge Payment" action and add it to the Pledge record, and then we'll do a bit of light page layout cleanup.  

With this action, you'll be able to create Pledge Payment records directly from the Pledge record with the click of a button, and some of the information from the Pledge record will carry over to the Pledge Payment record, too!  How convenient.

2. Set up New Pledge action and add it to the Account and Contact page layouts

In this step, we'll set configure the New Pledge action and add it to the Account and Contact page layouts. Then, we'll do a bit of light page layout cleanup.

When you're done with this step, you'll be able to create a Pledge record from the Contact or the Account, and the New Pledge action will capture important information from the Contact/Account and carry it over to the Pledge record.
