Learn how to use the new Line Items (All) report

Introducing a new report and CSV

In the spring of 2023, we began rolling out a powerful new way for Give Lively member nonprofits to access their donor data: a report called “Line Items (All),” found in the Reports Portal via a “Data Reports” link in a relaunched Nonprofit Admin Portal.

The “Line Items (All)” report comprises two levels of data:

• an on-screen report with basic information
• an expanded, restructured, comprehensive CSV file (a plain text “comma-separated values” file) that can be downloaded from the Reports Portal and includes donor data from all Give Lively products – Core Profile, Campaign Pages, Event Ticketing pages, Peer-to-Peer Fundraising and Team Fundraising pages, as well as donations received through Charity Navigator’s Giving Basket. 

At its core, the new “Line Items (All)” report provides the data nonprofits are familiar with. However, the CSV contains lots of new data and has been restructured with new column headers.

Lots of time to adjust

The rollout started with a limited number of nonprofits that volunteered to work with us while the features were still in a closed beta. We have now opened the beta to all. This is in keeping with our approach to any new functionality: We establish best outcomes in collaboration with a few nonprofits before expanding the circle of users to more, and eventually all, of our members.

With our “Line Items (All)” report in place, by early 2025 we intend to bid adieu to the old donor data CSVs downloadable through the Nonprofit Admin Portal.

The long delay between introducing the new data tools and phasing out the old is to allow nonprofits time to become familiar with:

• the updated CSV column headers – see this associated article
• the data in the expanded CSV
• the navigation in the Nonprofit Admin Portal
• the location of the on-screen report (via the “Data Reports” link) using the navigation in the Nonprofit Admin Portal
• the locations of the CSV download buttons in the Reports Portal.

Importantly, it also leaves plenty of opportunity for updates to third-party systems using this data.

Navigating the new environment

Nonprofits now see a “Data Reports” link in the left-hand navigation of the Nonprofit Admin Portal with “Line Items (All)” appearing as a dropdown menu item. Additionally, nonprofits that have received donations through the Giving Basket will see menu items for some combination of three other on-screen reports – “Line Items (Giving Basket)”, “Transfers” and “Checks”.

Downloading CSV data exports

For data downloads during the transitional period, different data will be retrieved depending on where the data is pulled from. Learn more about how to download donor data from Nonprofit Admin Portal.

“Export Donor Data” tool on the Nonprofit Admin Portal main dashboard

Data continues to be available as downloadable CSVs via the "Export Donor Data" feature on the main dashboard and any home dashboard for a campaign. These CSVs carry the usual data in the usual format, i.e. data that does not include the new data points in the new “Line Items (All)” reporting tools. These CSV download features will remain in place until early 2025.

“Export CSV” tool in the Reports Portal

Users now also have access to on-screen reports and an “Export CSV” feature via those reports in the Reports Portal. These CSVs carry the comprehensive data in the expanded, restructured format.

On-screen reports

Two helpful notes:

• Clicking on any line in the on-screen reports reveals more information about an item. Explore the expanded view of on-screen data reports in the Nonprofit Admin Portal.

Helpful notes

• For nonprofits using Event Ticketing: Currently, an entire event purchase is represented via one line item in the Line Item (All) report with no additional detail. This is the case even if the purchase comprised tickets across multiple ticket tiers. We have plans to make this detail available, including as multiple line items, in the coming months. In the interim, to see a breakdown of ticket purchases by tier, please download the “Attendee Data” via the event’s home page in the Nonprofit Admin Portal.
• Answers to custom questions are currently not available through this report. They can still be retrieved through the until-now usual CSV downloadable via the Nonprofit Admin Portal.
