Important!

For all templates:

Because donors often give more than one gift during a specified time frame, it is important that user options be set to allow multiples for ALL Comparison reports.

Comparison reports generally should include deceased constituents giving, since they may be recently deceased but gave a gift during the specified time.

This set of standard formats generally show a count of the donors (constituents) who have given during certain time periods, regardless of the number of transactions each donor 'owns'. Totals for these counts are based on the numbers of unique constituents, not a simple sum of the numbers in the fields or cross tabs on the reports.
