The giving analytics block provides a powerful tool for analyzing and reporting giving information. Let's look at how we can use this block to empower your organization.

Chart Mode

Chart mode allows us to get summary information on the transactions that meet our search criteria. While the main view is the chart, we can also get the numbers behind the chart.

Details Mode

The details mode shows us the individuals behind the data. Note that the data is shown by 'Giving Unit'. If an individual combines their giving with their family, then the head of household will be listed instead of the individual matched to the transaction.

Last Gift Ever
Quick note on the 'Last Gift Ever' column on the Giving Analytics block. If spacing weren't an issue this column would really be named 'Last Tax-Deductible Gift Ever to Any Account'. When using patterns to exclude people with certain giving trends this column can be a little confusing until you realize it is not filtered by any account.

It's important to keep in mind that Rock's Giving Analytics reporting is focused on reporting on people and ministry weeks, not reporting on dollars and transaction dates. For that reason, Rock groups contributions together according to a Sunday date. Rock's weeks, for the purpose of attendance and giving, run on a Monday to Sunday timeframe by default. This provides insight into giving by people during a specific week. However, this means the results won't line up entirely with a calculated total of transactions grouped by the transaction date. For instance, December 31 was on a Monday in 2018. Giving analytics for 2018 split by week would therefore show contributions from December 31, 2018 in the week of January 6, 2019.
