Crimson Feature of the Month: People Profile Basics

The People Profile is an integral part of the Crimson platform. For the rest of the year, the Feature of the Blog posts will focus on different aspects of People Profiles each month. In August, we’ll start off the series with People Profile Basics.

Parts of the People Profile

The People Profile in Crimson segments data into separate panels and includes summary information in each. When a panel is selected, the lower half of the profile shows an expanded version of those details. For example, when the Giving History panel is selected, giving history details about the donor will appear on the bottom of the profile.

• People Profile Panels

While the Contact Information and Timeline panels cannot be moved, the rest of these can be dragged-and-dropped into your preferred location or deleted from your customizable profile settings. The number of panels displayed will depend on how you customize your settings and the size of your screen. If you want to access additional panels that aren’t displaying, click on the blue bar on the right.
