Within Warchest, your numbers are updated every day. Past dates always use your actuals, and future dates always use your projections. For today’s date, you get to choose which to view.
Warchest gives you two modes:
- Actuals — based on real contributions and disbursements you’ve entered
- Projections — based on planned fundraising and spending projections
By default, Warchest uses projections for today. But you can flip the toggle to Actuals to view today’s contributions and disbursements once they’re entered.
⚠️ If you don’t see data you just entered for today, check your toggle — it may still be set to Projections.
How the toggle works
- When set to Projections, today’s numbers reflect your expected fundraising and spending.
- When set to Actuals, Warchest replaces those projections with the real transactions you’ve entered for today.
The toggle only affects today. Past dates always show actuals, and future dates always show projections.
Where to find and use the toggle
- Log in to Warchest and open your dashboard or any page within your Warchest
- Look in the top-right header or toolbar — you’ll see the “Today’s Data” toggle.
- Switch between Projections and Actuals depending on how you want to view today’s numbers.
- If you’re working with teammates, make sure everyone is on the same setting so you’re looking at the same numbers.
Common questions
I just entered a deposit, but it’s not showing.
Your toggle is probably still set to Projections. Switch it to Actuals to see today’s entries.
You may be on different toggle settings. Confirm that you’re both using the same one.
