As we are going into a new fiscal year, we are looking at ways to improve campaign reporting. I know campaign categories can be used to group campaigns for custom reporting, but as we have not really utilized this field before I would love to hear about other organizations have utilized campaign categories to improve reporting. Are there any best practices you can share??
I'm a huge fan of this because this field is flexible and can be updated to facilitate fairly simple report parameters. I have found it useful for year over year custom reports and for calculating donor benefits separately from comprehensive recognition levels (in this latter scenario, I'm at my 2nd organization that provides benefits for annual fund giving, but lists donors for all their support in the program book).
