The central hub of your giving platform
Once your ministry’s account is live, everything your staff needs for managing and updating your account can be found in your manager dashboard. This resource shows a bird’s-eye-view of the powerful admin tools.
Here’s a summary of what you’ll find in each section of your manager portal.
On the left-hand side of your manager dashboard, you’ll see the following categories:
Dashboard: High-level insights into your ministry’s giving, broken down into meaningful time increments (giving from the last 30 days, last 12 months, and all time).
Reports: Your giving data is tracked and sorted into reports most commonly used by our clients.
-
Recurring Gifts: View, filter, and manage all recurring gifts.
-

-

-

Donors: View donor transactions, edit donor profiles, add/edit donor envelope numbers, generate & email contribution statements, and add payment profiles for givers.
