Click the Actions dropdown.

Type Carol’s name into the Search for contacts field to bring up options. Then choose which Activity Account to apply the deposit to. In this case, it’s the Donor Activity account.

Click Save, Save & Close, or Save & New to record the deposit in the bank register and in Carol Johnson’s Donor Activity account.

To see the balances in Carol’s Activity Accounts, click Contacts and type Carol’s name into the search field.
