Your Giving Day Performance Dashboard is the first page you’ll see when you sign into your Giving Day account. It provides you with important information about your progress and upcoming deadlines.
Your Giving Day Dashboard is made up of three sections; Announcements, Important Event Dates, and Event Goals.
Announcements
The announcements area will provide you with important information related to your Giving Day account and the Giving Day event. 
Pay close attention to this area as it may often contain action items. For example, this area may notify you if your account needs to be registered for the Giving Day event.
Important Event Dates
In this area, you may find a call-to-action button from your Giving Day host, important dates, milestones, and deadlines, as well as your Giving Day status.
Each balloon has a date and a short description. Click a balloon to expand the section.
Use the arrows to the right of the balloons to advance forward to future dates or return back to earlier dates.
Event Goals
Each of your Giving Day event goals is listed across the bottom of the dashboard. Use the "Update" buttons provided to update each goal (defined below). To aid in your goal-setting, previous Giving Day participants will see their performance from the previous event. While they are broken into sections, each "Update" button will populate the same window, with a section for each goal and the corresponding fields to input. Scroll down to the corresponding section in the populated window to input your goal information. When you are finished updating, you can click the 'Submit' button at the bottom of the window.
