Which reports should I run for s_src (source) and s_subsrc (subsource) used in links in emails?

Options

Reports that include s_src and s_subsrc:

  • The Donations_By_Source_Code report is most useful if you want information on how frequently different sources and subsources are being used.

  • The Donations_By_Transaction report is most useful when you want to view all of the transactions.  Each row is a transaction.  There is a column for source and a column for subsource.

Note: For both of these reports, if their is a s_subsrc but no s_src, the column for source will contain the email instead.  If there is both a s_src and a s_subsrc the email will not be listed as the s_src will override that.

The Clickthrough_Details_Report contains the URL the constituent clicked on.  This URL contains the s_src and s_subsrc but it isn't in a terribly usable format.

The following reports have no information about s_src or s_subsource:

Campaign_Response_Details_Report

Campaign_Response_Summary_Report

Donations_By_Email_Message

Transaction_Report

Clickthrough_Summary_Report

Email_Message_Response_Details

Email_Message_Response_Summary

For more information on source codes, see this very useful help article. There is also a Community article titled: How do I track click-throughs for links from a different site? which might be relevant.
