In OLX donation forms you can add offline donations when you select 'Goal amount'. This creates a totaliser that can be embedded for the website, allowing donors to be a part of the goal tracking. In donation forms this isnt possible, you can either use the totaliser for just the donations through the form (and not any that come in by post or BACS etc), or use a gift lift which only counts processed and approved gifts so isn't updated live for website users.
I am using an optimized donation form with a goal meter, I have now realized that I can't add manually two fairly large offline gifts. Which defeats the purpose of the goal meter in my opinion because without these two gifts our goal looks unattainable. I definitely would like to be able to include manual gifts to the goal meter on a form.
I agree with this. Please add this functionality to manually add offline gifts. It's frustrating that database view allows this and not web view.
