Summary Fields make it easier to search for major donors, recent donors, lapsed donors as well as to show a synopsis of a donor’s history. Summary Fields extends your CiviCRM data by creating a tab of fields that total up and summarize donation history.
To enable or disable specific summary fields, visit Administer > Customise data and screens > Summary Fields, and select the fields you want displayed. All those fields will be shown on the Summary Fields tab in any contact page. The records will show the totals for each individual.
All of the data in the Summary Fields group are calculated from other data entered into your CiviCRM as contributions, membership or event participation. The benefit of making these items available as calculated fields is that they can be searched in Advanced Search and used as a basis for a smart group as well as for tokens in email and print communications. The set of available fields include:
- Total Lifetime Contributions
- Total Contributions this Year
- Total Contributions last Year
- Amount of Last Contribution
- Date of Last Contribution
- Date of First Contribution
- Largest Contribution
- Count of Contributions
- Average Annual (Calendar Year) Contribution
