My Reports is a great way to build custom reports. You select who you’d like included in the report and what information should be listed in the report. These reports can be saved. To create one, do the following:
- From the Reports window, select My Reports.
- On the Criteria tab, select who to include on the report. The Run For drop down allows you to select Everyone, Associations, Groups, Keywords etc.
- Once you’ve chosen your Run For category, choose the specific values. For example, if you want a list of all your Members and Regular Attenders, you would choose to Run For Associations. Then you would click over Members and Regular Attenders to the Selected column.
- From the Columns tab, select the information or data you’d like included on the report. Double click on a field name to move it to the Selected column.
- To sort on a certain value, double click on the field from the Selected column to move it to the Sort column.
- In the lower right section, choose to list individuals or families. If you choose families only one line per family will be listed.
- Choose your output format. Do you want to create a csv or text file or would you like to view the report to print it.
- Click GENERATE to run the report.
If you chose to print/spreadsheet the report, the results are displayed in the main section of the Report Output Window.
