Answer:
**Note: Starting in version 3.7.1.0 in Blackbaud Hosting, using FOM in Batch is no longer supported. This is due to how FindOmatic is installed. The ability to use FOM in batch requires FOM to be installed in the Custom folder of Raisers Edge. Blackbaud Hosting does not allow third party products to be installed in the Custom folder.
Launch FindOmatic by quickly pressing the ALT key twice. Click the Settings link to open the settings window.
Select the option to Search for non-constituents, then select the option to Use FindOmatic when a value is entered in a barcode field in a gift batch.
Click OK to save the settings.
In the Batch
When designing the batch, include the Gift barcode field.
In the batch, position the cursor in the barcode field. Enter a value to match on - name, phone number, etc - and tab out of the field.
* If the value is a barcode and the donor is a non-constituent, they are automatically promoted to a full constituent and the constituent information is pulled into the batch from the constituent record.
* If the value is not a barcode, FindOmatic launches and performs a search based on this value. If the selected record is a non-constituent, FOM promotes them to a full constituent and the constituent information is pulled into the batch from the constituent record.
* If FOM finds a match based on an appeal finder number, selecting this result will also populate the gift appeal and fund fields based on the constituent appeal with that finder number.
