Sample Report: Customer Names with their Answers to a Question

To create a Custom Report which only displays your customer names with the answer to one or more of your questions:

  1. Click the Account link located in the top right corner of your GiftTool BackOffice account.
  2. Click Custom Report.
  3. To create a new report, click Add Custom Report.
  4. On page 1:
    • Select a date range for your report by clicking the Date Picker icons.
    • Enter the Report Name.
    • Select the currency of the transactions to be displayed.
    • Net Orders: Check the box to have your report provide the summary of all order modifications or order cancellations to the original order. Net Orders will show a single line for the registrant with a final summary of their order. Selecting Net Orders is useful to view the final Balance Due owed by your registrants. Alternatively, unchecking Net Orders, will provide a list of each individual order processed for this participant, including the original order and any subsequent order modifications or cancellations.
    • One row per order: Check the box to have all information for an order displayed on a single line, with Registration Options, Session Options, Additional Items, or answers to questions grouped in a single cell for each item type. Unchecking this box will place any additional Registration Options, Session Options, Additional Items, or answers to questions in a new row.
    • For GiftTool Services: check one or more services that apply.
    • For Also Include: check Items purchased, Profile fields, Questions..
    • Click Next
  5. On page 2 – determine the columns shown in your report:
    • If they aren't already listed in the "Show" section, click the "+" symbol next to the following fields to move these fields into the "Show" section.
      • Order ID
      • Order Date
      • Service (allows you to confirm that the report is limited to the correct service.)
      • Activity (allows you to confirm that the report is limited to the correct event, appeal, Pledge-a-thon, etc.)
      • Activity ID
      • First Name
      • Last Name
      • Questions
      • Add any additional fields that you require.
    • Click the "-" symbol next to any field not listed above that should not be included in your report. This will move these fields into the "Don't Show" section.
    • To change the order that the fields are displayed in your report, drag & drop the fields into your preferred order.
    • Click Next
  6. On page 3 - Enter a filter to restrict your report to the answer for a single question.

    For example, if you want to restrict your report to only those people who have provided an answer to the question "What is your T-shirt size?":
        Condition Field Operator Value
       1 Question contains What is your T-shirt size?
    • In row 1 - Create a filter to restrict data to a single question by selecting the Field Operator and typing the Value as shown in Condition 1 above.
      • The Value is case sensitive, and must not include extra spaces or other characters.
      • When entering the Value, type the question exactly as it is setup in your form setup. For example, copy the question from your form setup and paste the precise question in the Value field. Be careful not to paste extra spaces. Alternatively, you can run the report without this filter, then you can see which Question you want to filter on and copy/paste the exact value into your filter.
    Alternatively, you can further restrict your report to only those people who have answer "Small" for the Question "What is your T-shirt size?":
        Condition Field Operator Value
       1 Question contains Small
    • In row 1 - Create a filter to restrict data to a single event by selecting the Field Operator and typing the Value as shown in Condition 1 above.
      • The Value is case sensitive, and must not include extra spaces or other characters.
      • When entering the Value, type the response to the question to be included in your report.
  7. Additionally, if you want to restrict your report to a single event, Pledge-a-thon or appeal form, you can add a filter to restrict your report to this single activity:
        Condition Field Operator Value
       2 Activity equals **Type the name of the activity as written in your form setup
    • In row 2 - Create a filter to restrict data to a single event by selecting the Field Operator and typing the Value as shown in Condition 1 above.
      • The Value is case sensitive, and must not include extra spaces or other characters.
      • When entering the Value, type the name of the activity exactly as it is written in your form setup. For example, copy and paste the precise name of the activity from your form setup in the Value field. Be careful not to paste extra spaces. Alternatively, you can run the report without this filter, then you can see which Activity Name you want to filter on and copy/paste the exact value into your filter.
  8. Click Save & Run to view your report.
    • Review the Excel and determine which columns you are missing or do not need. Repeat step 5 to add or remove additional columns, and rearrange the remaining columns to your liking.
    • Use your computer functions, to print or save a copy of the report.
    • Having difficulty viewing Excel reports?
Note:
  • If you first run the report without any filters, you can see which data you want to filter on and copy/paste the exact value into your filter.
  • Filters are "AND"ed together if no advanced filter logic is provided.
  • For ID fields, the prefix letter (R, S, D, etc) before the ID cannot be filtered on. Instead filter on the Service field (Registrar, Shop, Donations, etc).
  • Date values must be in the form YYYY-MM-DD.
