“Warning – Program Name may be too long to fully show on check”

In the previous FIMS 14.71 release, an enhancement restricted the character length of the “Program Name” to ensure that the name would fit on a check. When the name was too long, a warning displayed. 

Answer:

In FIMS 14.72, we’ve added a new option so that you can choose whether to have the warning display. By default, long character name warnings are set to display. 

To turn the warnings off: 

1. Go to Tools > System Utilities > System Options. 

2. In Section, choose either Grants or Scholarships, depending on the module for which you want to turn off warnings. 

3. In Option, choose Program_Name_Length_Warning. 

4. Select a Value of No. Note: Character restriction depends on how the check form is set up. Although you can disable the warning, character length remains restricted on the default non-DAF letter grant check forms.
