# Use the advisor feed

**Who can see this:** Owner, Admin

The advisor feed is DonorCARE's own weekly read of your data — a ranked list of what needs your attention, what's changed, and what's trending — refreshed every Sunday with no set-up required.

## Why it works this way

Most small teams don't have a data analyst combing through donation and donor records looking for problems before they become urgent. So DonorCARE runs that check for you: every Sunday, a set of analyzers looks across your donations, donors, campaigns and compliance status for specific patterns — a donor who gave last year and hasn't this year, a campaign running behind pace, a rising rejection rate on your e-invoices — and turns anything it finds into one item on your feed, ranked by how urgent it is.

## The terms

**Needs you** — items with real urgency: compliance risk, an approaching deadline, something that needs a decision.

**What changed** — a notable shift in your donations or donor behavior since the last run.

**Trending & opportunities** — momentum or an opening worth acting on, without the urgency of the other two.

**Severity** — Critical, Warning or Info. Your dashboard shows only your top three items, by severity, with a link through to the full feed.

**Acknowledge** — mark an item reviewed and leave a short note for anyone who looks at it later. Dismiss removes it outright. Either way, the same underlying issue won't pile up as a fresh duplicate while it's still open.

## What this means in practice

**Do**

- Leave a note when you acknowledge something — it's what turns "someone looked at this" into a record of what they decided and why.

**Don't**

- Be surprised if a Finance or Member-role teammate can see the Feed link in the sidebar but can't open it — the feed itself is currently limited to Owners and Admins.

## Worked example

**An invented temple's** most generous donor gave RM5,000 last Vesak and hasn't given anything this year. The feed's donor-lapse check surfaces this under **What changed** before the next big event, rather than staff noticing the gap only once it's too late to reach out.
