What are purpose of buckets when creating a new fund?

The use of Buckets are only applicable when you are generating your statements using the Annual Statements (CSV) option with this template.  By Buckets Template or By Buckets Template with Non-Deductible Contributions.  eCatholic ChMS allows the user to group their funds into 3 sub-totals and assigning a description to each bucket within the template.  On each fund, you can assign them Bucket 1, Bucket 2 or Bucket 3. During Annual Statement generation the system will automatically sub-total transactions according to the bucket assigned to each fund.  If your Diocese has Diocese Funds implemented they will automatically be assigned to Bucket 3.
