Voluntary Donations Data View

From this screen you can display a data view of all donations information for a station. The Donations Data View lists all data collected for every donation made to the station. This includes the institution code, donor ID, donation type, description, dollar value, donor name and address, donor affiliation, acknowledgment date, General Post Fund number, and field service receipt number. A data view presents all the data in a database table. There is too much data in the data view to fit into a normal page for printing, so you will probably want to save it to your hard drive and then open it in Excel or Word; or you can import the saved file to a database program, such as Quicken or Access.
