Hi all,

Looking at 'Reports' > 'Create Reports from Templates' the names of the contribution report templates don't seem to be that great.  The donor/donation terminology seems to be misleading as these reports don't necessarily show donations they could be event fees etc.

Below is a list of replacement names that we think are good.

We've filed an issue for this -CRM-8752 and will carry out the work, but would like to get feedback about whether people think this is a good idea and any suggestions you might have.
Please let us know what you think.

thanks
Peter

Current Names Donor Report (Summary) Donor Report (Detail) Donation Summary Report (Repeat) Donation Summary Report (Organization) Donation Summary Report (Household) Top Donors Report SYBUNT Report LYBUNT Report Soft Credit Report Bookkeeping Transactions Report Personal Campaign Page Report

Proposed Names Contribution summary report Contribution detail report Repeat contribution report Contributions by organisation report Contributions by households report Top donors report SYBUNT Report LYBUNT Report Soft Credit Report Bookkeeping Transactions Report Personal Campaign Page Report

Perhaps all the template names could end with the word "template" , such as "Contribution detail report template"

Hopefully this will eliminate confusion about when you are looking at a report template, or a report instance.
