The Executive Summary tab in the Advancement layer comprehensively summarizes the overall performance of fundraising at your college or university. It also bridges the gap for smaller advancement organizations that may have gift officers coincidentally working on Annual Giving and Major Giving efforts.
Fiscal Year Drop Down
The fiscal year period for all reports in the tab is controlled by the fiscal year drop down in the bar at the top of the tab. Changing this selection will refresh all of your selected viewports.
Measurement
Transaction Viewports allow you to select from several measurements for counting dollars and donors. This selection is available on the upper right corner of the transaction viewports, and your preferences will be saved, so that if you switch all of your viewports to the Commitment measurement, they will appear that way the next time you return to the tab.
- Cash: Includes gift and pledge payment transactions. This reflects actual dollars received during the period, and donors that paid during the period.
- Commitment: Includes gift and pledge transactions. This reflects dollars generated / committed during the period, and donors who made some kind of commitment during the period, whether or not they paid during the period.
- Pledge: Includes only pledge transactions.
Viewport Preferences
Any changes made to Viewport preferences are saved and will appear that way the next time you return to the tab. For example, if you switched the measurement of a Viewport from Cash Dollars to Commitment Dollars, the Viewport would be set to Commitment Dollars the next time you return to the tab.

To change which Viewports appear in your six viewport windows, click the icon in the upper right corner of the Viewport. Then, from the window that pops up, chose the Viewport you would like to place in that position and click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
