Dashboards will provide instant visibility to commonly used information in one view. Users can customize their dashboards by
creating their own report criteria and selecting their specific reports to view in the dashboard. Many Dashboards work with
Interactive reports so we will cover Interactive Report functionality in this document as well.


Interactive Reports give you the ability to filter, sort, and group the data using criteria. The available criteria are specific to
the information the report contains. The report functions give you the ability to customize date settings, save criteria settings,
delete saved reports, and schedule an email delivery. In this section, you will learn how to use the criteria and report
functionality.

Club Intelligence Module

Club Intelligence: in CMA on the left menu we have added several new dashboards for key modules

  • Select Club Intelligence > select the desired Dashboard

Example of a Dashboard Layout: 

Display Mode:

Display Modes: In some dashboards you will see Display Mode icons. When these icons are available you have a
choice on how you want the information to display. Not all dashboards will have display options.

                       

Settings

Settings will list the available reports

  1. Click the down arrow
  2. Highlight the report your want displayed

Notes:

    • The reports listed above the dotted line are system defined reports. The reports listed below the dotted
      line are user defined reports

    • The last report you displayed will become your default dashboard report. You can change the default at
      any time by selecting a different report

Column Headings, Content, and Totals

Column Headings: will give a description of the content displayed in that column. You can sort by any column by clicking
on the heading description


Content you can double click on any line to drill down to the transaction detail

Dashboard Totals at the bottom of each dashboard will list the totals

Interactive Report Icon will take you to the interactive report where you can change the report criteria’s or create your own
report. Many dashboards are not generated by a report and therefore you may not see this icon available for all dashboards

Refresh Icon will update the data with any new information pertaining to the displayed dashboard

Interactive Reports 

Interactive Reports gives you the ability to filter, sort, and group the data using criteria’s. The available criteria are

specific to the information the report contains. The report functions give you the ability to customize date settings,
save criteria settings, delete saved reports, and schedule an email delivery. In this section you will learn how to use
the criteria’s and report functionality.

  1. Click on the Interactive Report Icon



    1. Notes:

      1. If you are clicking on the icon from the dashboard it will take you directly to the report; go to step 3

      2. If you are clicking the icon from the CMA options proceed with step 2 


  2. At the top left will display the report options by module > click the + sign to expand and list the available
    reports > click on the report you want



    The following instructions will explain the standard Interactive reporting functionality: 
  3. Criteria options are what make the Interactive Reporting tool powerful; the drop down selection makes it
    simple to select the information you want and remove the information you don’t want. You will learn there are
    other powerful features with the Interactive Reporting but before you can truly take advantage of the SQL
    reporting tool you will have to understand how to use the criteria options to generate the information you
    desire. Every report will have various criteria to choose from (some more than others). The best practice is to
    take the time to look at each criteria field before running the report. Remember that once you have selected
    all the criteria settings you can save the report so you never have to go through the process again unless you
    wish to change the report in some way 



      1. At the right side of each criteria option is a down arrow. Click on the down arrow to see the
        available choices. Some criteria options may be multi-select and some will be single-select.

      2. Some reports will have a Start Date and End Date and others will have an As of Date. The reports that
        have a start/end date have the ability to customize the date settings.

      3. Detail Level will determine how much drill down detail to include (Member or Family detail, Item or
        Item group, etc…)

      4. Group By will determine how the report is organized to subtotal the detail

  4. Once all criteria options have been set > Click View Report (far right corner of screen)



    1. Note: 

      1. The Provide Feedback is a way for you to communicate with our developers; to provide suggestions and
        ask for an enhancement to the displayed report. This is not a support ticket


  5. The detail will be displayed at the bottom of the report screen 





  6. If you see Up/Down Arrows at the end of the column description you can sort the data by clicking on either the
    Up or Down arrow and results will sort first in ascending then descending order with subsequent click:


Saving your Criteria Settings

  1. Click Save Current Settings



  2. The system will prompt for a Name
  3. Saved reports can be accessed by > click the down arrow on Report Settings



    1. Notes:
      1. The saved reports are user specific. Each user will see only the report settings they saved under their user login
      2. If you receive this message when saving it is because the report highlighted in Report Settings is a saved report;
        if you want to create a new report select No. If you want to change the saved report select Yes to override the
        report settings.

Schedule Email Delivery

  1. Click on Setup Email Delivery



  2. Scheduling tab > set the Start Date and Time to begin delivery



  3. Select one of the Patterns to use for scheduling > on the right of the Patterns are the scheduling options

  4. Select Recipients tab



  5. Click one or all the Search Icons to find a recipient



    1. Notes:
      1. Add Employee to send scheduled report to employees on file with an email address
      2. Add Member to send scheduled report to members on file with an email address
      3. Direct Email Recipients to manually enter the email addresses if recipient is not on file > click Add

Customize Date Parameter

  1. Click on the wrench icon at the end of the Start Date or End Date



  2. Select the Option

    1. Notes:
      1. If a Customized Date Parameter has been set on a report date field it will be grayed out and the wrench icon
        will turn to a Green Ball. You can always clear or reset the parameters by clicking on the green ball and
        selecting Clear



      2. Here's an example of when you would use the Add/Subtract function: let’s say you want the previous 10 days activity; you
        would set the Option to Current Day and Subtract 10 Days.

Report Tool Bar

Below the criteria settings is the Report Tool Bar


  1. Next & Previous Page If the report contains more than one page you can use the arrows to advance forward or
    move backward

    report and want to find a specific amount or name.

      is not the record you want > click Next continue until it finds the record or it completes the search

    margins. The icon to the left allows you to Preview the report

Report Tabs

    viewed report in a tab so you can go back to the report later. If you want to close the report click on the tab
    and click on the X at the end of the tab description



    1. Notes:

      1. If you do not see Tabs at the top you are on an older version of Clubessential; email Clubessential support and request an upgrade

      2. Any Interactive Report you go into you will see the Tabs at the top
      3. The Tabs and the Report Settings will remain until you exit CMA or click the X at the end of the tab description
