Question Responses Gadget:

This Gadget will display the response to any Question Checkbox (QCB) or Question Multiple Response (QMR) that the supporter has answered, in the format currently set for the question.

Any changes made to the questions after the supporter has answered will be reflected in the Gadget. This means that if a supporter has previously responded 'Yes' to a question and the question's label/value is changed from 'Yes' to 'Y', the supporter's previous response will not be reflected in the Gadget.

Transaction History Gadget:

This Gadget displays a list of the supporter's transactional history stored within Engaging Networks, which can also be downloaded for viewing outside of the platform. You can also create multiple versions of this Gadget, for example, by transaction type, and save an assigned custom display name for each.

What is displayed in the Transaction History Gadget?

Each transaction item includes the three-letter transaction type, the reference name of the transaction (such as a page name or question name), the campaign status value and the date when the interaction occurred.

The following transaction types are not visible in the transaction history gadget:
Supporter Service Create (SSC), Supporter Service Update (SSU), Event Ticket Attendee (ETA), Event Ticket Purchase (ETK), Hub Supporter Update (HSU), Manage Supporters Create (MSC), Manage Supporters Update (PTM), Manual Supporter Update (MSU), Question Confirmation (QCS) and Question Multiple Response (QMR)

What do the colours on the Transaction History Gadget mean?

The colour of the bar provides quick information on the transaction. Green denotes a successful donation or event (light green), red a failure. Blue represents advocacy actions or unsubscribes, light yellow represents opt-in submissions, and dark yellow represents email activities.

Process Transaction Gadget:

This Gadget enables you to enter data and add transactions to a supporter record quickly. You can create transactions associated with live pages for Data Capture, Fundraising or Membership campaigns in your account that do not include any dynamic behaviour.

It is recommended that you not use customised pages with this Gadget. Pages that include action redirects, redirects, filters, or form dependencies will not appear in the dropdown lists because they are considered to have dynamic behaviour. Calendar field types are also incompatible.

To process a transaction with the gadget

  1. Select the transaction type, associated page and click 'Create'.

    image-20250909-095952.png
  1. Complete the unformatted version of the form that opens and submit it*.

image-20250909-100122.png

*The form will be pre-populated with the relevant constituent data.

Recurring Donations Gadget (FCR | FBR):

This Gadget displays all recurring credit/debit card (FCR) and/or recurring bank (FBR) donations made by a supporter. It is colour-coded so that successful transactions are green, paused or suspended transactions are orange and failed or cancelled transactions are red. If you use the Stripe, Vantiv, Paysafe, Payflow Pro, or iATS payment gateways, you can also manage your recurring donations from this Gadget.

How do I use the recurring donations gadget?

If you click on any of the transactions displayed in the Gadget, it will open up a new window where you can view and/or edit the following information:

Transaction Details

Here you can view the parent transaction (ie, the first transaction) made for the recurring donation.
You can also view and edit the gift status, end date (the date the gift stops), next payment date, donation amount, frequency, and giving day. You can also move a recurring transaction to another supporter record here.

Transaction History

Here, you can view the details of each subsequent donation made since the parent transaction was processed, identify changes, issue refunds, or mark donations as refunded if they were processed via another system.

Update Expiry Date (FCR only)

Update the expiration date of the credit card used for recurring donations, depending on your payment gateway.

image-20250910-144037.png

Change Card (FCR only)

Depending on your payment gateway (we support Payflow, Vantiv, Paysafe, Stripe, and iATS), you can update the credit card number used for recurring donations here.

When the card number is updated, the original FCR recurring series is cancelled, and a new FCR recurring series is created. A Fundraising Recurring Update (FRU) transaction is also generated, with an amount of 0. Campaign Data 11 shows the Parent ID of the original series being updated.

If your recurring payments are not managed within Engaging Networks but by your gateway, a message will appear instead of the transaction history, informing you of this.

Changes made to the Donation Amount, Status, Frequency, Day of charge, and End Date will create an FCR UPDATE in the transaction gadget and a Status: change in the recurring transactions history. Changes are also indicated in the Campaign Status column and the Campaign Data 21 column of transactional exports.

Recurring donation statuses

The following statuses can be selected when editing your recurring gift, and the transaction's colour will update accordingly:

Active (Green)

This is the default status for successful recurring donations

Suspended (Orange)

The transaction will be changed to suspended after three rejected attempts.

Paused (Orange)

At the request of a supporter, you can pause their donation, meaning it can be easily resumed.

Cancelled (Red)

This allows you to cancel a recurring gift and provides an opportunity to enter a reason for cancellation.

Recurring Donation Tasks

In addition to updating the recurring donation, depending on your payment gateway, you can perform other tasks in the Gadget.

Cancelling recurring donations:

  1. Choose the relevant transaction > select edit > Change Status to 'Cancelled'.

image-20250909-174224.png

image-20250909-174305.png
  1. Select the intended Next Payment Date (end date)* from the calendar and select 'update'.

    *This allows the transaction to effectively skip the intended month(s) and restart on the selected date.

  1. If successful, a new FCR or FBR UPDATE: and Status: change transaction will be created.
