Working with the Status Indicators that Display on Your Personal Page

Typically, your Personal Page displays two status indicators: the Participant Status fundraising thermometer that shows the amount of money you have raised toward your goal and the Largest Gifts list that shows the names of the top 20 donors who donated on your behalf and the amount of the donation (except for those donors who have specified not to be named nor to show the amount they donated).

If the Choose button displays under the indicators when you open the page for editing, you can:

• Remove one or both status indicators
• Change the status indicator styles or swap places between the first and second indicator
• Change the labels that display on each status indicator

Note: These actions require a feature that may not be available on all sites.
