 1. Accessing the Member Activity Report

      Step 1: Navigate to the main Reports page

      Step 2: Click the Show Member Activity Report to launch the reporting interface.

 2. Filtering Your Data

This section allows you to define exactly which member records are included in your report.

  • Step 1: Create a Filter [Screenshot of the filter section from the attached image]

    • In the Field dropdown, select the specific data attribute you want to filter (e.g., "Name," "Status").

    • In the Type dropdown, choose the comparison operator (e.g., "=", ">", "contains").

    • In the Value box, enter the criteria (e.g., "Active" or a specific name).

    • Click the Create Filter button to apply the rule.

  • Step 2: Review Applied Filters

    • The box below the filter creation area displays your currently active filters (e.g., "Name" and "Status").

    • Click the "X" next to any filter to remove it.

 3. Selecting Report Columns (Fields)

This crucial step defines the data fields that will appear as columns in your final exported report.

  • Customizing the Output: Look for a section, usually labeled "Fields," "Columns," or "Output Selection," which contains an input box similar to the one shown in your second image: .

  • Adding a Column: Click into the field selection box and begin typing the name of the column you want to add (e.g., "Email," "Program," "Belt Size"). Select the field from the dropdown list.

  • Managing Selected Columns: Each selected field appears as a tag (like Name and Status). To remove a field from the report, click the "X" next to its tag. Only the fields selected here will be included in the final CSV file.

4. Managing Preferences (Saved Settings)

You can save your current filter and column selections as a preference for quick loading.

  • Creating a New Preference:

    • Enter a name in the New Preference Name box.

    • Click Create Preference to save the current filter and column settings.

  • Loading/Deleting an Existing Preference:

    • Use the Select Preference dropdown to load any previously saved set instantly.

    • To remove a saved preference, select it from the dropdown and click Delete.

5. Exporting Your Report

  • Download Data As CSV: Click this button to export the filtered data, containing only your selected columns, into a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file.

  • Load Member Notes: (If applicable) Use this button to fetch and include specific notes associated with the filtered members.
