  • Example: Use a Custom Component to Match and Populate Data
    Create a custom component that overrides the Donor column from the default template with a barcode option. When a user enters a value in the edit component, the system looks for a matching value in a custom Bar Code object. If a match is found, values from that record populate other columns in the Gift Entry Grid.
