Toggle off matching gifts in the thermometer

It would be great to have the ability to toggle on/off whether we want challenge amounts to automatically appear in the thermometer.
For example, when you hover over the amount raised, a pop up appears indicating what was donated vs. what was matched. I can see how this might be a good feature for some instances. However, in our case, we offline load our matching gifts so the donor's name appears in the challenge hub. We also do this so that the gift appears in the export so we can accurately conduct our post giving day analysis.
Unfortunately, this then results in that amount being double counted in the page. To be able to indicate whether we want this feature on or off would be very helpful.

Hey Jessica Oudhnarine, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- How often do you need to toggle the matching gifts feature on or off?
- Are there specific scenarios or events where you would prefer the matching gifts to be included or excluded from the thermometer?
- Would you like the ability to set default preferences for the matching gifts feature for different campaigns or events?

How often do you need to toggle the matching gifts feature on or off? - Depends on the scenario.
Are there specific scenarios or events where you would prefer the matching gifts to be included or excluded from the thermometer? - For our giving day appeals, I would prefer the feature to be turned off. An instance where it was beneficial to have it turned on was a crowdfunding appeal to quickly enter the match without having to offline load it. In this case, we did not need the match to be there for the export.
Would you like the ability to set default preferences for the matching gifts feature for different campaigns or events? - Yes, that would be helpful.
