Available filters

When building a report, many filters are available. Each one helps you capture a specific group of donors based on set information.

Campuses

Filter by campus to locate donations designated to a specific campus. The available campuses are determined by the campuses listed in Account settings. If you have the campus selector on the online donation form enabled, donors can choose a campus to donate to. If the campus selector is turned off, donations will be assigned to a campus based on the donor's primary campus in People.

Funds

Funds are set up by your church as categories for your donors to choose when giving.

Labels

Labels help organize your donations. They can be created, edited, and manually applied to each donation by an Administrator.

Important

Labels are only visible in Giving. They are not visible to donors in their Church Center profile, and they will not be included in donor statements.

Stamps

Stamps automatically apply to donations and tell the donation's story as a financial transaction. They are defined by Giving and are not editable.
