What are the summary data columns on the Constituents grid?

Updated Oct 4, 2024

The Constituents grid includes many columns which are automatically generated from historical data. These fields, shown below, include summary information for transaction history, memberships, time tracking, event attendance, and interactions. The columns only update once per day, overnight. So if there is new data entered today, for example a new donation recorded, the new totals will not be reflected on the grid until the next morning. (Continued below table...)

By default the transactions fields will include any general, event, membership in kind, stock, invoice payment, or pledge payment types of transactions.

In Account Settings, go to the Options section.

You also can choose the total number of days that are included in the calculations as well as what date is used for calculations.

  • In Transaction History Default Days you can enter a total number of days you wish to use in calculations. So if you have many years of data, you can limit it to something like 10 years (3,653) if desired. If this field is blank it will use all of the data.
