This article will guide you through what you can do with a Progress section of designing and working with the Activity Landing Page (previously called the Event Page). If you are just starting in designing your event page, you will likely want to start here.
Include a Progress section in your Activity Landing PagePage with a dynamic amount raised, a progress circle that fills as you get closer to your goal, and a donor wall to thank all your donors right on your Activity Landing Page.
The Progress section is an optional section you can add to your Activity Landing Page. With it, you can have an embedded web page equivalent of your Fundraising Thermometer right on your Activity Landing Page, including a donor wall. In fact, the Progress section uses the same information from your Thermometer page.
You can personalize the Progress section to include or exclude the progress bar and the donor wall so you can create the exact experience you desire.
Add the Progress Section
The Progress section is an optional addition to your Activity Landing Page. To add it, click the Add Section button in the upper right of your Activity Landing Page designer and choose Progress.
You will need to name the section, and then you can initially place it in the order you desire. If you want to move it to a different part of the page, you can do so later as described here.
Now that you have a new Section, you can personalize it.
Display Section
If you decide against using the Progress section, you can hide it with the Show/Hide switch.
You can also delete the section by clicking the Trashcan icon if you decide not to use it at all. If you delete it, you will be shown a confirmation box before it completes the deletion
Title
You don't need to use a title, so the Show/Hide switch starts disabled. If you want a title, switch it to Show.
You can edit the Title to be anything you wish and include different formatting. You can also choose other variables from the drop-down list.
Progress Circle
If you don't want the Progress Circle, you can hide it. Maybe you just want a donor wall. If you hide the Progress Bar, then the Donor wall will automatically be centered in this section.
Otherwise, you can edit the Progress Circle by clicking the Edit icon.
Here, you can choose to show the goal with the On/Off switch, and choose a goal amount.
If you have not set up the goal in the Fundraising thermometer, then the initial amount for the Progress Bar will be set to $10,000.
You can show or hide the Total Collected amount.
You can show or hide the Donor count.
Make sure to click Save if you make any changes.
Donor Wall
If you don't want the Donor wall, you can hide it with the Show/Hide switch. If you hide the Donor wall, then the Progress Bar will automatically be centered in this section.
Otherwise, you can edit the Donor Wall by clicking the Edit icon.
You can choose to show the donors' names and or the amount they have donated.
Make sure to click Save if you make any changes.

Include In Totals
This allows you to determine what you want to be calculated in your Progress Circle. It will always show actual donations.
By default, it will also include both:
Pledges: those who have texted in an amount, but have not completed their donation on the donation page
Offline: those who have donated by check or by cash (such as through a donor card at an in-person event or through email for a virtual, or any event) and you have entered them using the Enter Offline Donations category on the left. You can enter them individually or in bulk.
Message
The Message section is usually used to alert supporters to the Donate button so they can affect the progress, but it could be anything from thanking your donors to cheering the progress so far to motivating people to donate.
If you do not want to include a message, you can use the Show/Hide switch to remove it from your Event Page.
Button
While the button is listed generically, so can be used for anything, in the Progress section, it is primarily used for Donations so the donor can see their name on the Donor Wall and see the progress increase.
If you do not want to include the Button, you can use the Show/Hide switch to remove it from your Activity Landing Page.
Click the Edit icon to change the label on the button and to which form it will go.
Background Color
The Background of the Progress section starts as dark grey (hex code #333333) for the Dark Theme and white (hex code #ffffff) with the Light Theme.
To change the Background Color, enter a color's hexadecimal code or click on the color square and pick the color of your choice using the wheel and square.
Now your Progress section is ready to go, perfect for Days of Giving, Virtual Events and more.
