TOPIC: Marking Paid in Backend doesnt update amount paid

Quick question .
When marking PAID in the backend Records section
the amount paid still says 0.00
Is there a reason for this or do i have to

1 Mark them as paid
2 Open the record and add amount
???

Just curious as it is going to be a lot of work editing so many entries
Clicking on PAID is bad enough as it refreshed the page each time
And we need to check off about 400

Is there any quicker way?
As we need to send out the thankyou mail again with a record of there paid transaction

Correct... the two parameters are not automatically connected. You have to edit the record and mark it as paid AND set the amount that has been paid. Let's open this up for a little discussion...

Obviously, I can see that you'd like to be able to click a record's paid icon and have the amount paid automatically updated so the amount due is calculated as $0. You'd also like a Paid button in the toolbar so you could check multiple records and then mark them all as paid at one time. Right?

Comments from others? Would this be the desired functionality for everyone else? Unless anyone offers some good reasons why not, we will try to implement this soon. Thanks.

Yes to all . That is handy in the log run as with 500 reg's to mark off as paid by clicking each one then going into it is a long task .
It would be great to have the ability to do both
EDIT :-
Also A multiple dropdown to change multiple items from pending to active etc .
I know we can do all this in the Exported spreadsheet but it would be good to have a record viewable still by any admins

Hi Nathan,

yes this would be wonderful and would save TONS of work. We only use "Pay Later" which is quite common here in Europe (using wire transfer). Right now I have to enter so many numbers AND hit paid...

Would be a real time saver, so yes, yes, yes and pretty please...

thank you,
