Using CampSite's Advanced Report tool, you can create custom reports on the camper and family data within your database. Reports can also be used to complete certain actions in mass, like sending a mass e-mail, generating documents/labels for multiple campers at once, posting mass transactions, and more.
To create or view an advanced report, select Advanced Reports from the Campers dropdown menu on the navigation bar.
Open a Previously Saved Report
To open a report that's already been created/saved in your database, click the Saved Reports dropdown menu ("select...").
Select the report from the menu that drops down, or type the name of the saved report to search for it. Click the name of the report to load the current results.
Creating a New Report
To create a new report, start by adding campers to your report based on their enrollment status for the given year.
- Add enrolled campers to your report by selecting the sessionsthey're enrolled for.
- When a session is added to a report, all campers currently enrolled for that session will display in the report results.
- Add campers who are not enrolled by selecting their lead status.
- When a status is added to a report, all campers labeled with that status will display in the report results.
To add a session or status, click the corresponding link and select from the pop-up window that opens. Or, manually type the name of the session/status in the relative text boxes. Both sessions and statuses can be added to a report (which will generate a report containing enrolled campers and not enrolled campers).
Tip: Adding all sessions and all statuses will generate a list of every camper in your database.
Adding Fields of Information to a Report
By default, an Advanced Report only generates each camper's first and last name. To generate additional information about each camper, add fields to the report.
To add fields of information to your report, click "+Add a field..."
A pop-up window will open presenting all of the fields that can be added to the report.
- Fields are organized under different tabs, based on the type of information they represent. Select a tab to view the available fields within it.
- Checkmark a field to generate that data in the report.
Close out of the Fields window to return to the report. For each field you selected, additional columns will appear in the report.
Field Settings
For each field added to the report:
- Click and drag fields by the three gray lines icon on the far left side of each field name to re-arrange the order of the columns in the report.
- Double-click on the two pronged arrow icon to split multiple values onto separate rows in the report.
- Double-click on the bullet point list icon to group the report results by the data within this field.
- Double-click on the red icon to remove the field from the report.
- Single click a column header to sort the report by the data in that particular field (A-Z). Click again to sort Z-A.
Splitting Multiple Values
Certain fields of data could contain more than one value for a camper. For example, the "enrollment extra names field" for a camper who purchased a t-shirt, AM Extended Care, and PM Extended Care would contain all 3 of those values.
By default, fields that contain multiple values will display all of those values in the same row of the report, separated by commas.
An example of multiple values:
By activating the "splitting" function for a field that contains multiple values, the report will split those values onto separate rows in the report results.
An example of multiple values being split:
- To split multiple values in a field, double click the two-pronged arrow icon.
- Each value now displays on a separate value
Overall, splitting results can help with seeing more individualized information in a report instead of having it all grouped together.
Note that splitting multiple values will increase the number of results in the report as campers will now be listed once per value.
Grouping the Report Results
Group together campers with the same value for a given field by activating the grouping function for that field.
- Double click to activate the grouping function for a given field.
- View the total number of groups found in the report.
- See the header for each grouped value (and the number of rows within each group).
- See the campers within the group (i.e. that have that particular value for the grouped field).
Tip: If grouping by a field that contains multiple values, split the field first so that the report groups each value individually.
Grouping Controls
- "Show all groups" will show all campers within each group.
- "Hide all groups" will hide the campers within each group, so that only the group name / number of rows displays in the results.
- Check or uncheck all groups in the results (next to the header for each value). If a group is un-checked, it will not be included if you complete an action (e.g. print; export; generate labels; etc.)
- If printing the report, choose whether or not to insert page breaks between each group when printing.
Filtering the Report Results
Remove certain campers from the report by adding filters.
Click +Add filters... to add a filter to the report.
A pop-up window will present all filters you can apply.
- Fields are organized under different tabs, based on the type of data they represent. Select a tab to view the available fields within it.
- To select a filter, click the corresponding checkbox.
Another window will ask you to specify your filter criteria.
- First, select how to filter by this field.
- Filter criteria are dependent on how the data in that field is collected. For example, age can be filtered by "is between", "is not between", "is blank", or "is not blank".
- Enter the filter criteria.
- Add the filter.
The report will results will update to include only the campers who meet your filter criteria. To narrow down the results even further, add additional filters as needed.
