Other functionalities available include:

  • Save as Report: This feature allows you to create and save your own customized views. For example if you will usually want to see deals by a certain funder and only care about seeing the total collected, you can uncheck all other columns under Column Chooser, and then check off only that funder from the drop-down list. Then you will hit Save as Report and name your report so that in the future you can easily select that type of report. You can create unlimited numbers of customized reports.
