It might be part of other requests as well, but I wanted to highlight this issue again: for our organization it is critical to be able to exclude soft credits from Lifetime Giving totals as it is technically not the donor's money. We use soft-credits quite narrow and the "hard credit" constituent is the "distributor" of the "soft-credit" donor's gift.
We need to include matching gift as well as soft credit into our Lifetime Giving totals, just like in Database view.
