Add or Remove Data to Reports with Ease

Nearly every data field you see on donor, donation, payment, interaction or volunteer editing screens can be added to or removed from your reports.

You can reorder the columns simply by dragging and dropping them. Any changes you made are autosaved, so if you close your window by mistake, you won’t lose any hard work.

Filter Data without Writing Queries

There’s no need to learn how to write queries with Donor Wrangler! Simply use the Change Filters button to add or remove filters to a report. Then, for most of them, you just click one of the choices to include it in the report, and click it again to remove it.

Export Data and Perform Bulk Actions

Further, you can perform bulk actions with the data, allowing you to create tasks, interactions, letters, emails (if you have the marketing emails feature enabled), tags or change a donor’s status.

Save Reports for Future Use

The best part? The data is always current, so a Year to Date Payments Received will always show you the most recent information even if you saved the report a month ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

The terminology can be a bit difficult to wrap your head around, especially if you have had no experience with this type of software before. We highly recommend you refer to our help article about the Basics of Running Reports for a good, broad overview of how reports function.

Don’t be afraid to experiment! You can’t break anything by trying different styles of reports. Even your bulk actions can be undone with the click of a button.

This is one of the most popular questions, and one we seem to get asked every year in November and January. To address this, we’ve created a help article that will hopefully make everything clear: Creating Your Annual Donor List and/or Thank You Letter.
