There are four types of custom reports:
- Transaction Reports allow queries of the confirmed transactions that have taken place. The results have one record per transaction in the system.
- Registrant-Event Reports allow queries of registrant information on a per-event basis. The results have one record per registrant per event. Financial data is also available.
- Registrant Reports allow queries of registrant information on a per-registrant basis. The results have one record per registrant. Financial data is also available.
- Event Reports allow queries of event information. The results have one record per event. Financial data is also available.
When you create a new report, a tab for that report type appears under custom reports. Any other reports of that type will also be available by clicking on that tab.
How to Create a New Report

- Check off any fields that you would like to appear in the report and enter the following settings:
Custom Heading Enter the title of the heading as it will appear in the report. Column Enter the column number for the data in that field. Type Select ‘Word/Date’ or ‘Number’ Sort If you would like this field to be the data used to sort the report entries, select ‘Yes’. A textbox will appear where you may enter the number of the priority of the sort. For example, data will be sorted using the field with a sort of ‘1’ before it is sorted by a field with a sort priority of ‘2’. Group If you would like the data to be “grouped” by this field, select the checkbox. For example, if the field ‘Event’ was checked off, all entries with the same value for ‘Event’ will be merged on the report as one entry. - Click on
