Great news! There is now a single place to report against your mission trip giving. You can use the campaign functionality to setup reporting for your mission trips.
Create and Archive Report-Only Campaign
Gather a list of active mission trips, making note of the starting and ending dates. In this example, we have two active mission trips: Guatamala and Peru
In the V2 admin portal, navigate to: Finance > Designations > Campaigns > Add a new Campaign
In the Name text box, type a name that reflects this is a reporting-only campaign
Copy the Name of the campaign and paste it in the Short Description and Long Description text box fields.
In the Fund search box, search for and select any fund. You will not be reporting against this selected fund, but the fund field is required to create a campaign.
In the Start Date and End Date boxes, make sure you use a wide enough date range to capture all of the giving for the mission trips that are included in this report. For example: we started collecting donations for both of our example trips on January 1, 2017. We will stop accepting donations for our longest running trip at the end of 2021.
