Sponsor active sponsorship count |

You can restrict the records processed by the selected sites. |
Sponsorship child active sponsor count |
Provides the number of children associated with an active sponsor. |
You can restrict the records processed by the selected sites. |
Sponsorship child available count |
Provides the number of children available before meeting the threshold defined for greatest need. For example, you can set up a smart field instance which uses “Opportunity Region” as its Opportunity dimension. Next you go to Sponsorship and create a greatest need rule set based on “Region,” and you list three regions: Africa, Asia, and Latin America. If in Use threshold of field you select the smart field you just created for Opportunity Regions and specify Is greater than “10,” instead of the available count in Africa having to go down to zero before the rule starts assigning to Asia, the rule starts assigning sponsors to Asia when only 10 children remain in Africa, and so on. This insures you have children in reserve should a sponsor specifically request a child in Africa. |
Opportunity dimensions - Select the dimensions you want measured when greatest need is determined. You can select more than one dimension. The dimension listed first is the first considered when determining greatest need. You can restrict the records processed by the selected sites. |
Sponsor child available percent |
Provides the percentage of children available before meeting the threshold defined for greatest need. For example, you can set up a smart field instance which uses “Opportunity Region” as its Opportunity dimension. Next you go to Sponsorship and create a greatest need rule set based on “Region,” and you list three regions: Africa, Asia, and Latin America. If in Use threshold of field you select the smart field you just created for Opportunity Regions and specify Is greater than “10,” instead of the available count in Africa having to go down to zero before the rule starts assigning to Asia, the rule starts assigning sponsors to Asia when only 10% of the pool of children from Africa remain, and so on. This insures you have children in reserve should a sponsor specifically request a child in Africa. |
Opportunity dimensions - Select the dimensions you want measured when greatest need is determined. You can select more than one dimension. The dimension listed first is the first considered when determining greatest need. You can restrict the records processed by the selected sites. |
Sponsorship project active sponsor count |
Provides the number of projects associated with an active sponsor. |
You can restrict the records processed by the selected sites. |
Sponsorship project available count |
Provides the number of projects available before meeting the threshold defined for greatest need. For example, you can set up a smart field instance which uses “Opportunity Region” as its Opportunity dimension. Next you go to Sponsorship and create a greatest need rule set based on “Region,” and you list three regions: Africa, Asia, and Latin America. If in Use threshold of field you select the smart field you just created for Opportunity Regions and specify Is greater than “10,” instead of the available count in Africa having to go down to zero before the rule starts assigning to Asia, the rule starts assigning sponsors to Asia when only 10 projects remain in Africa, and so on. This insures you have projects in reserve should a sponsor specifically request a project in Africa. |
