How To Configure The Progress Bar In A Campaign To Use Historic Giving

The Progress bar that shows in the Campaign detail page when a Goal Amount is set, by default, is getting the data from Contributions.

Configuring this setting is also useful for cases where the admin is tracking finances that have gone to a campaign in the dashboard. Below is an example of a dashboard that tracks payments towards a fund:

  • On the left side of the window, click the Categories tab.

  • Right-click on the Campaign Category and click Edit.

  • Click the ‘Historic Giving Totals’ checkbox and click ‘Save & Close’.
