This page lists all of the options on the Reports ⇒ Donor sub-menu. They can also be run by using the Report Browser and drilling down into the DONOR REPORTS.
Like almost all other reports, they can be run from an automated reports script. Instructions for the arguments needed to do so from a reports script are included below the description of each report. The Name= argument for each one is always taken from the choices you drill-down through to find that report in the Report Browser.
| Donation Info | Sort by Name: Lists all donors in the current and prior years, with their donation totals and donor categories for each year. Includes all donors, whether or not they have donations in either year. You are prompted for a range of dates to restrict this report to, and optionally a category. Sort by Amount: Lists only donors in the current and prior years who have given a donation in one of those years, with totals of those donations, sorted by this year's donation totals, in descending order. You are prompted for a range of dates to restrict this report to, and optionally a category. Sort by Member/Envelope #: Lists all donors in the current and prior years, with their donation totals for each year, in order by Member/Envelope number. (Those with such a number all come before those without one, who are then sorted by name.) Includes all donors, whether or not they have donations in either year. You are prompted for a range of dates to restrict this report to, and optionally a category. Last 4 Years: Gives totals for each donor for each of the last four years, plus a grand total for each donor for all four years. Only includes donors who have given in at least one of those years. Sorted by Name, but you can use the Sort button to change the sort. Note: Prior to version 3.42 of DONATION, all of these reports omitted any donors that were present in the previous year's donor list but had been deleted from the current year's donor list (or never copied forward to the current year). That has now been corrected, so that they are included. The same applies for the Last 4 Years report - any donor present in any of the last 4 years' donors lists will now be included, if they have any donations in any of those years. For all of these reports, you can drill-down on total fields for donations to see a detail report of the donations that make up that total. To run any of these from an automated reports script, the arguments to RunReport() are: Name= Donor Reports -> Donation Info -> (then the name of the report as listed above) Then except for Last 4 Years, that doesn't prompt for anything: DateRange=, or StartDate= and EndDate= (see here for more details) Category= (All, or a donation category name) |
| Addresses | Lists the name, address, phone number and email address of all donors. Although the following fields are not displayed on the report, it can be filtered on any of the two donor category fields, the Groups field, or the six other info fields, or the total amount donated field. To run this from an automated reports script, the sole argument to RunReport() is: Name= Donor Reports -> Addresses |
Addresses by Member/
| Envelope Number | Same as the previous report, but also adds the Member/ Envelope Number, and sorts numerically by it. Although the following fields are not displayed on the report, it can be filtered on any of the two donor category fields, the Groups field, the six other info fields, or the total amount donated field. To run this from an automated reports script, the sole argument to RunReport() is: Name= Donor Reports -> Addresses by Member/Envelope Number |
| Contact Information | Lists the name, phone number and email address for all donors, or only for donors with donations within a specified range of dates. It can be filtered on any of the two donor category fields, the Groups field, the six other info fields, or the total amount donated field (within any specified range of dates), although none of those fields are printed on the report. To run this from an automated reports script, the arguments to RunReport() are: Name= Donor Reports -> Contact Information Recipients= All, or ForDateRange If Recipients is ForDateRange, include DateRange=, or StartDate= and EndDate= (see here for more details) |
| Customer IDs | Lists the name, phone number and email address for all donors, along with their Customer IDs, for all Customer IDs entered via the IDs button on the main window, or during imports. Note: This report only appears on the menu if you have turned on the maintenance and use of Customer IDs by checking the Customer IDs checkbox on the Donor Details tab of Maintenance ⇒ Main Window Options. To run this from an automated reports script, the sole argument to RunReport() is: Name= Donor Reports -> Customer IDs |
Recorded
| Communications | Lists all fields for automatically or manually recorded communications except for the Comments field. You are prompted for whether to report on All Donors or just the Current Donor, and for a range of dates of communications to include. |
| Potential Duplicates | Lists donor names which may be duplicates of each other, based on a "sounds-like" rule. This should be run periodically to check for donors that may have been entered twice. However, some duplicate entries with spelling errors may not be caught by this report, and it will definitely print names that are not duplicates of each other, but just sound alike. Warning: Because this report has to compare every donor to every other donor, if you have a lot of donors, this can take a long time to run (many minutes). |
| If you do find real duplicates with this report, you can merge them with Database ⇒ Merge Duplicate Donors. To run this from an automated reports script, the sole argument to RunReport() is: Name= Donor Reports -> Potential Duplicates |
| Actual Duplicates | Lists donor names which may be duplicates of each other, based on being exactly the same, except possibly for differences in capitalization. This should be run periodically to check for donors that may have been entered twice. Note: duplicate entries with spelling errors will not be caught by this report. Warning: Because this report has to compare every donor to every other donor, if you have a lot of donors, this can take a long time to run (many minutes). If you do find real duplicates with this report, you can merge them with Database ⇒ Merge Duplicate Donors. To run this from an automated reports script, the sole argument to RunReport() is: Name= Donor Reports -> Actual Duplicates |
Duplicate Member/
| Envelope Numbers | Lists donor names with duplicate Member/Envelope Numbers. While this should not be able to happen, it can happen in some exceptional circumstances, and should be fixed.

Note: If you have deleted old years' data with the Database ⇒ Delete Old Data menu option, that old data will be gone, and thus will not be included in the past years' total that is in this report.
