- Automatically track past email communications on related contact records
- Set tasks, events, and reminders and relate them to any contact, donation, or grant
- Record tasks, events, meetings, and calls related to any contact, donation, or grant

Advanced Analytics
Business intelligence (BI) is a term that refers to a class of tools and techniques that allow you to consolidate data of interest. It provides sophisticated reporting, graphic visualization via charts, graphs and maps, and rapid analysis of large and/or complex data. It is often extended to include the tools needed to migrate, consolidate and house the data, which often comes from multiple data sources and requires preparation for optimal reporting and analysis. You might consider business intelligence if achieving your mission and improving your programs requires:
- Tracking trends over time involving multiple variables (example: student performance over time, student performance by mentor)
- Using statistical methods to compare your data to a superset (example: client progress relative to a cohort, such as residents of a region or of a particular demographic)
- Visualizing data using charts and graphs plotting multiple data dimensions
- Mapping data geographically
- Providing external stakeholders such as funders, affiliates, volunteers with access to customized views of data in reports and dashboards
- Consolidating large, external data sets correlated with your operational metrics (example: impact data).
