    Note New gift designations are saved as active, even if you don't select Active.
  5. To use the designation for all unrestricted gifts, select Default.

    Keep in mind that processing a high number of records on a designation can cause data skew. To avoid data skew, review the parent-child data skew to determine how often to use a new default designation based on the volume of records you process on the designation.

  6. Save your changes, and create other gift designations as needed.
