Which Giftworks Subscription Does My Organization Have?
Your organization may subscribe to three distinct versions of Frontstream’s Giftworks CRM.
Giftworks Desktop is a standalone desktop application that uses a local database file (.gds file) to store information.
If you have Giftworks Desktop, you will access it via a desktop icon or by navigating to the executable file (xxx.exe file) and double-clicking.
If you are then presented with this screen and have not been asked to log in using a login name with ‘mr-‘ preceding it, you have Giftworks Desktop!
The Giftworks Desktop Icon.
Clicking on the icon will bring you directly to Giftworks without any external login required.
Please Note: If you have created an icon for your desktop and use Giftworks Anywhere, it will look the be the same icon as Giftworks Desktop.
Giftworks Anywhere is the same fundamental package as Giftworks Desktop, but it is accessed differently as database files are hosted remotely via Cyberlink ASP and Citrix.
To access Giftworks Anywhere users will need to use the Citrix software or access the server through a web browser.
If you have Giftworks Anywhere, you will be required to log in to Citrix using a username that begins with ‘mr-‘.
This can be done through the Citrix Workspace App or online.
We recommend using Citrix Workspace for the best connection!
Logging in using the Citrix Workspace or a manually created Giftworks shortcut will appear like this:
Logging in to the Citrix Workspace will allow you access to Giftworks Anywhere and your Citrix File Explorer.
Panorama Donor Management is our newest version of Giftworks and is accessed through our Panorama platform.
This is an online service so database information is stored on our secure servers.
Donor Management also integrates seamlessly with other Panorama platform products to facilitate the easy collection of donor and donation data.
If you are logging into panorama.frontstream.com to access Giftworks, then you are using Donor Management.
There will be no desktop shortcut.
After logging into Panorama, selecting Launch on the right-hand side of the screen will open Donor Management.
