The big screen isn't updating

The campaign-night big screen checks for new gifts every few seconds. If the total doesn't move, check the internet, the link's settings and what counts.

  1. 1

    Internet

    The screen needs internet the whole time. Open another website on that computer to check.

  2. 2

    Is the link still good?

    Screen links work for 60 days. Make a new one on Campaigns → "Big screen" → "Make the screen link" and open it.

    Campaign, title, dates and goal for the screen.
  3. 3

    Right campaign and date?

    The screen counts one campaign (or "Everything") from the "Count from" date. A gift recorded to another campaign, or dated before that date, won't show.

    Count from tonight's date.
  4. 4

    Pledges

    Pledges count only when "Count pledges as raised" was ticked when the link was made.

    Tick to count pledges.
  5. 5

    Only gifts that went through

    Declined and pending gifts don't count.

  6. 6

    Reload

    Press F5 to reload, then F11 for full screen again.

Tips

  • People who chose anonymous stay anonymous on the screen.
  • Test the screen an hour before the event with a small gift.

If something isn't working

Names don't show.

Make the link again with "Show names" ticked.

The goal is wrong.

Type the goal in "Goal $" and make the link again.

Still stuck after all these checks?
