  • 1.  Best practice - should we add links to google docs/web pages to constituent records

    Posted 03-15-2025 08:44 AM

    HI,

    Need to know the best practice. IS it OK to add link to obituary to the record, or should we copy-paste. Also, when we do research, we create a google doc. Should we add the link to goggle doc to constituent - in the notes? Or should we copy-paste.

    What is the best practice?

    Thanks

    Hi Tripti,

    One thing to consider is the reliability of links. If a link were to break or if your institution were to switch from Google to Microsoft, accessing the information could become problematic.

    Best regards,
    Jeff

    We attach the obituary to the constituent record.

    Thanks Jeff, yes that makes sense. So I think it is better not to use links but attach the details.

    We do include the link but we also copy & paste in the announcement, press release, news item, obituary, etc. This covers all the bases.
