Crimson Feature of the Month: Moves Management, Part 1

One of the newer dashboards added to Crimson, Moves Management, visually tracks the process of moving prospective donors through the major giving process. Starting with discovery and cultivation through the completed donation, Moves Management helps organizations keep track of how they are reaching these prospects.

Moves Management also utilizes features you already know in Crimson, such as Tasks and Notes. It also incorporates an interactive dashboard that tracks communications, upcoming deadlines, and recent contributions associated with donors or prospects. Once you assign a Move to a People Record, you can move the donor/prospect between life cycle stages, such as Discovery to Completion, with a simple drag-and-drop of your mouse.

Part 1: How to Navigate the Moves Management Dashboard

The Moves Management dashboard can be accessed by clicking on the More section of Crimson’s menu. The feature has two views, the Dashboard View and the List View.

Dashboard View: Provides a visual layout of every People Record in your Moves Management cycle. Each card provides summary details, such as Tasks assigned for follow-up or past due moves. You can quickly drag-and-drop Moves from one stage to another to note changes and updates as they occur.  

List View: Organize all the Moves data in a list format, which also includes a summarized view to help you make quick updates to each donor.
