Progress Tracker
Learn how to add a fundraising progress display to your event website using the Progress Tracker element.
The Progress Tracker element shows your event's fundraising progress in one of two styles: a Thermometer (default) that fills as donations come in, or a simpler Funds Raised display.
Adding a Progress Tracker to a page
Drag the More Column Content element from the Website Editor Sidebar into a column space, then choose Progress Tracker.
Clicking the Progress Tracker element opens the Progress Tracker settings panel in the Website Editor sidebar.
Display Settings
Clicking Configure next to Display opens the Configure Tracker window. Use the Type dropdown to switch between Thermometer and Funds Raised.
Thermometer
The Thermometer style shows a visual fill that progresses toward a target amount.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Image Height | Sets the height of the element on the website. Default is 200px. |
| Orientation | Controls the layout direction. Auto (default) displays horizontally on desktop and vertically on mobile. Set to Vertical to always display vertically regardless of screen size. |
| Show Legend | Toggles the display of the "Raised", "Goal", and "Achieved" values. |
| Current Amount | The current value displayed when Amount Source is set to Manual update. Default is 0. |
| Adjustment | Adds a fixed amount to the tracker's displayed total. Use this to account for offline donations or other income not recorded in Auctria. |
| Target Amount | The fundraising goal the tracker counts toward. |
| Title | The label displayed above the tracker. Default is "Our Fundraising Target". |
| Vertical Height | Sets the height of the tracker when in Vertical orientation. |
Target Amount default
If Target Amount is not set, the Progress Tracker uses the event's Fundraising Target amount. See Event Details for more information.

Force Updates

To ensure that transactions recorded from the Event Dashboard — such as manually entered bids, purchases, or donations — also update the tracker, enable the Push website notification option when recording those transactions.
