Important Announcement: Upcoming Scheduled Maintenance

Salsa Labs, Inc. will be performing scheduled maintenance on:

  • Tuesday November 9, 2010 from 4 AM - 6 AM EST and
  • Thursday November 18, 2010 from 4 AM - 6 AM EST.  


During these two scheduled maintenance periods, all Salsa pages will be unavailable. This includes the Salsa HQ, any pages created using Salsa (signup, action, donation, event, unsubscribe pages) as well as the Salsa Commons and Salsa Labs, Inc websites.

All Salsa pages will be redirected to a landing page informing the user that Salsa Labs is undergoing scheduled maintenance. After the maintenance window, all activities should be able to resume without issue.

These scheduled upgrades of our router software will result in a faster and more efficient experience for you, our clients, and for your supporters and site visitors. We spent a lot of time examining the appropriate times to do these upgrades so that we could minimize the impact to our clients. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

***PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN DATE FOR THE SECOND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TO THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH***

The upgrade will allow you to both add columns of custom fields you have created and set conditions on this data. Take a look at this video for a basic report utilizing the upgrade

Salsa Weekly Highlight: Use 'archive' tag to keep unwanted data out of your way

Greetings! (and Happy Halloween!)

Image: The 'archive' tag in SalsaIt's the "Salsa Weekly Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

We're often asked about options to keep old campaigns, donation pages, events, and other aging Salsa data out from underfoot.

After all, it's a pain to pick through long lists of historical actions just to get the few ongoing ones you need to see. And you don't want to delete them outright and lose their data.

Solution: just archive them.
