User Defined Tokens: A fantastic new tool! Now you can create your own script tokens to infill with your drive goal, thank you gifts, etc. This allows PledgeDriver users to update scripts from one drive to the next in just seconds. How-to instructions are in PledgeDriver's Help section under Scripts. (7/21/10)

Bin/Script Highlighter: PledgeDriver has always allowed users to highlight the position of a particular script in the planning grid. Now they can highlight the positions of all scripts from a particular case or close bin. For example, if you want to check whether you've got a New Member script included at least twice every hour, the highlighter makes it a quick task. No more scanning with tired eyes! (7/27/10)
