This status affects how Actions are counted in reports and revenue totals, and serves as a built-in data quality checkpoint for your team. **Part 1: What Do Verified and Unverified Mean?** Verified An Action is Verified when its Action Date is today or in the past. Verified Actions are counted in all reporting, including revenue totals, constituent giving summaries, and At a Glance statistics. Unverified An Action is Unverified when its Action Date is set in the future. Unverified Actions are recorded in Alpine but are excluded from revenue-based reporting and constituent totals until they are marked Verified. **Part 2: Why Verification Status Matters** Verification status ensures your reports reflect only confirmed activity — not anticipated or projected interactions. For Donation, Membership Payment, and RSVP Actions specifically, an Unverified status means the Action will not count toward: \- Revenue totals on the Dashboard \- Constituent giving history and lifetime totals \- Campaign and Action-based reports This makes verification particularly important for financial accuracy. A pledge entered with a future payment date, for example, will appear in Alpine but will not inflate your revenue figures until the payment is confirmed and the Action is verified. **Part 3: How Actions Become Verified** There are two ways an Action moves from Unverified to Verified: 1\. Automatic verification — When an Action is entered with today's date or a past date, it is automatically marked Verified. 2\. Manual verification — A staff member reviews an Unverified Action and marks it Verified individually. This is common for future-dated Actions once the interaction has taken place. **Part 4: Using Verification as a Data Quality Tool** Beyond date-based status, verification can also be used as a workflow checkpoint — a way for supervisors or data managers to confirm that Actions entered by other staff members are accurate and complete before they count toward reporting. Common uses include: \- A Development Associate enters gift records; a Development Director verifies them before they count toward revenue totals. \- Event staff log RSVPs in advance; a coordinator verifies them after the event occurs. \- Volunteer coordinators review hours entered manually before confirming them. The At a Glance panel in the Actions module displays a count of Unverified Actions, making it easy to spot a backlog that needs attention. **Pro Tips** \- Use the Unverified filter in the Actions module to quickly surface all Actions pending review. \- If you notice a consistently high Unverified count, it may indicate future-dated Actions that were never followed up on — a good signal for a data cleanup. \- For financial Actions, make it a team habit to verify Donations, Membership Payments, and RSVPs promptly so your Dashboard and reports stay accurate. \- Actions can also be verified or unverified in bulk. See How to Mass Verify or Unverify Actions for details. - [Humanitru Database](https://kbhelp.humanitru.com/knowledge/humanitru-database?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://kbhelp.humanitru.com/knowledge/humanitru-database?hsLang=en#getting-started) -
