Customize donations search and results

For each campaign, each user of your account can customize the search. This means you can change the search engine, the fields that appear when you arrive at the Donations Perceived page, and the columns of information that appear.

You may find that you don't need some information and need others. You can also consider the fact that displaying columns in your list allows you to create a customized report.

Simple and advanced search

In the "Donations" application, in the "Campaigns" sub-menu and then in a specific campaign, go to the list of donations by clicking on the Donations perceived tile

There are two types of search: simple search and advanced search.

The simple search allows you to search for a word among all the available fields in your list of donations.

The advanced search allows you to do more specific searches and to search in a particular field.

Configure Advanced Search Settings

The Advanced Search settings allow you to define custom search criteria based on the available fields that will make all your searches easier.

When you are on your Donations list page (Donations Received), you can click on the gear wheel at the top of the page and access the search settings.

Reset the search

In the menu at the bottom of the screen, it is possible to reset the search criteria to values predefined by Yapla. There are two types of resets: Advanced Search and Simple Search. The simple search will reset only to a few fields that are essential to your search, while the advanced search will reset with a wider range of fields to further refine your search.

Results table

You have the ability to customize the fields that are visible and their order in your search results table.

This customization allows you to quickly access the information you need without having to automatically open the donation record. Another advantage is that you can use this customization to create a customized data report containing specific information. 

In the "Donations" application, in the "Campaigns" sub-menu and then in a specific campaign, go to the Donations list by clicking on the "Donations perceived" tile.

 

At the bottom of the page, click on the button to the right of the "Export" button to begin this customization

Create sorting rules

Sort by: In this section select the fields on which the display order should be based. 

Display order: two options are available. Sort in ascending or descending order. 

 

Configure the display of search results

In this section, you can drag and drop fields between the Available fields and Selected fields columns.

Selected fields: in this column, you will find all the fields visible in the search results table.

If you want to remove one of them, just move it to the right column. To change the order, move the fields within the column. The top field will appear first, the bottom field will appear last. 

Available fields: contains all the "donation" fields, whether they are native to Yapla or created for your organization.
To add a field to your list of search results, drag and drop a field from this column to the Selected fields column

 

Once you have made your changes, don't forget to click on the "Save" button at the bottom right.

 

Export your search

Once the search is done, Yapla offers you the option to export your search results. To do so, simply click on the "Export" button.

At this stage, you have two choices:

  • Export the columns displayed on the screen: by choosing this option, the export will only include the fields that appear in the search results, in the configured order
  • Export all donation information: this is a global export of all data. All the fields native to Yapla, as well as all the fields created by your organization, will be present. It is not possible to modify this export.
