About the Constituent Timeline

On the Timeline page, view all date-based activities associated with a constituent for each calendar year.

The timeline includes:

  • All transactions

  • Fundraised gifts (donations this constituent raised for your organization from another donor)

  • Interactions (including mass emails and volunteer activity)

  • Tasks

  • Notes

  • Attachments

The timeline also highlights important milestones such as giving upgrades and donations multiple years in a row. These milestones show qualifying transactions, which include revenue transactions and soft credits on one-time donations.

Note: Fundraised gifts are not qualifying transactions. Money a constituent raised for others never appears in, or contributes to, giving-based highlights such as year-over-year giving increases or giving level upgrades.

Filter Constituent Timelines

To view only specific types of information on a constituent's timeline:

  1. Click Timeline.

  2. Click one or more of these filters:

    • Transactions

    • Fundraised

    • Interactions

    • Tasks

    • Notes

    • Interactions (no mass emails): To exclude mass emails from the interactions. If you click both Interactions and Interactions (No Mass Emails), all interactions appear.

    • Attachments

  3. To view interactions for only specific years, from the Years drop-down list, select one or more years.

  4. To clear the filters, click All.

If you select multiple filters, items appear that match any of those filters. For example, click Tasks and Notes to see all tasks and notes.


However, if you select Attachments and another filter, the Timeline shows only interactions of that type that have an attachment. For example, click Tasks, Notes, and Attachments to see all tasks and notes that have attachments.
