Running the Report
- Click on the Reports menu and Run a Report.
- Click to expand the Member Reports.

This will open a window where you define parameters for the report.
After you click OK to run the report, you can refresh the report page at any time to go back to the parameters window, and make changes.
At the top of the report, be sure to look at the paging controls (see screenshot below). If the button on the right (next page) is available then there is more data.
Parameters
After you define these parameters, scroll to the bottom, and click OK to go into the report.
Enter ViewFormat: This allows you to render the report in the standard Print View for printing or exporting or in a special Export View that is optimized for exporting.
The Export View is NOT readable from the browser, but readable in Excel.
- The Print View, which is the standard view for all reports, renders the data in a readable format from the browser. It includes Print and Export options in the top left corner.
- The Export View also includes Print and Export options in the top left corner, but this view is specifically meant to be used with the Export option > Excel formats.
For Export View, choose "Microsoft Excel (1997-2003) Data-Only" as the File Format.
Enter Beginning of Date Range and Enter End of Date Range: This date range determines what period of time should be reflected in the report. Profiles will appear if they joined within this date range.
Under "Available Values," click on a membership level and then click the right arrow to add it to the list of "Selected Values." You must select at least one level.
- If you click the double arrows then you are adding everything.
In the example above, if you wanted to quickly select: Basic Member and Subsidiary Member, hold the Ctrl key, click each item, and then click the right arrow to add both of them.
- To remove a membership level, under the Selected Values, select the level, and click Remove, or to remove all, click Remove All.
Would you like to include members that are not assigned a Membership Level: If you change this to Yes, it will include members that joined, but who were not assigned to a membership level.
If you choose Yes, you still must add at least one membership level to the list of Selected Values.
Breakdown of Report
This report is based on the member's join date. It will show members that joined within the specified date range and for the specified membership level (Parameters).
Sections
After the report pulls a list of profiles that joined in the specified date range, it displays them within a section for membership level, and then breaks it down by the month and year of the joining.
In the example below, we see a section for Basic Member, and within that section, October 2020. This contains everyone who joined the Basic Member level in October 2020. Then we see December 2020. This contains everyone who joined the Basic Member level in December 2020.
On the left side, you can click on a membership level to jump to that section. This list will only include the membership levels reflected in the report.
