Table of Contents
Use the Report Builder tool to view, create and test your organization's reports. Information about each report is displayed, including the Report Type on which the report is based. There is a default report based on each available Report Type. Default reports cannot be deleted or edited, but they can be deactivated if they are not needed or cloned to create custom reports. Inactive reports are displayed in the Report Builder, but they are not available in the Reports Area.
Once a report has been added and activated, it immediately becomes available in the Reports Area where Report Admins and higher-level admins such as Organization Admins and Super Admins can use it to run reports. See the Run a Report tool page help for more information on using reports created through the Report Builder tool.
Underlying each report is a Report Type that is calibrated to return the broadest possible set of data fields related to a specific topic. You may narrow the set of fields available in your report (to streamline use and improve performance), but you cannot add more fields. For more information, see Kavi Members Report Types.
Note
Membership-related Report Types and fields are only displayed if the membership feature is enabled for the site.
View, manage and run available reports.
Access the Add a Report tool to create a custom report.
All existing reports are displayed. Click the 'Manage' link adjacent to any report you'd like to manage, view in detail, activate or deactivate, clone or edit. Click the 'Run' link to run the report or click the 'Add a New Report' link if you want to create a new report from scratch.
Note
If you want to create a new report based on an existing report, use the 'Manage' link rather than the 'Add a New Report' link. Once you're on the Manage a Report page, click the 'Clone' link to gain access to the Clone a Report tool.
