The Charting Events ReportBuilder, available from within the AWARDS Reports module, is used to generate customized reports of basic client demographics, along with details of scheduled chart events as recorded in the Charting Timetable feature. To generate and save a Charting Events ReportBuilder report that can be re-run in the future, to generate a single-use report, or to use and/or update an existing report format to generate a report, complete the following steps from the AWARDS Home screen:

1. From the navigation bar, click Reports (or the Reports icon).  The Reports index is displayed.

2. Click the Program drop-down arrow in the upper-right corner of the page and select the individual program for which the report is to be run, or select a group of programs using one of the available "All" or "Custom" grouping selections.
3. If you previously bookmarked the Charting Events ReportBuilder it is displayed on the reports index by default; otherwise, from the left-hand menu bar, click All or ReportBuilders under "Show Reports."
4. Use the navigation features in the bottom-right corner to locate the Charting Events ReportBuilder in the index, or enter "charting" in the Search field in the upper-right corner.
5. Click Charting Events ReportBuilder from the reports index. The Charting Events ReportBuilder Settings page is displayed.

6. Click the Roster Date Range drop-down arrow and choose which clients are to be included in the report based on their program history.  Available selections are:

  In Program - When this option is selected the report will only include clients with program history records indicating they were enrolled in the program at some point during the specified date range.  This selection is recommended if you will be narrowing the report contents using multiple date range filters (set in step 17).

  NOTE: In this context, clients who were enrolled in the program include those who entered the program on or before the report "To" date, those who were discharged from the program on or after the report "From" date, and those who were enrolled in the program for the entirety of the report period.

  Admitted - When this option is selected the report will only include clients with program history records indicating they were admitted to the program at some point during the specified date range.

  Admitted or Transferred In - This option is available in databases that are set up to use the Transfers module.  When this option is selected the report includes clients with program history records indicating they were either admitted to the program (via the Intake/Admission module) or transferred into the program (via the Transfers module) at some point during the specified date range.

  Discharged - When this option is selected the report will only include clients with program history records indicating they were discharged from the program at some point during the specified date range.  Current program episodes will not be included.

  Discharged or Transferred Out - This option is available in databases that are set up to use the Transfers module.  When selected the report includes clients with program history records indicating they were either discharged from the program (via the Discharge module) or transferred out of the program (via the Transfers module) at some point during the specified date range.

  NOTE: In the event that you are creating a new report format that will be saved, please be aware that the selection you make here is not saved with the report.  It, along with the date ranges specified in steps 7 and 10, must be set each time the report is run.

7. By default, the report only looks for clients with program histories (of the type specified in the previous step) as of today's date.  In the From and To fields, make changes to the default date range as necessary (using mm/dd/yyyy format or the available date picker).  When doing so please keep in mind that a two year period of your choosing is the maximum length of time for which the report can be run.
8. By default the report contents include all clients with records matching the report settings; any client without records matching those settings is excluded.  If necessary, click one of the other Client radio buttons to make an adjustment to the included clients.  Available selections are:

  Clients with Records - The default.  As noted above, includes in the report all clients with records matching the report settings, and excludes those that do not match.

  All Clients - Includes in the report all clients on the program roster, whether or not they have records that match the report settings.  Those without matches will display "--" for data variables in the report where there is not a matching record.

  Select Client - Limits report contents to those records for a single client only, if records are found for that client that match the report settings.  When selected, use the corresponding drop-down (automatically displayed when "Select Client" is clicked) to choose the client for whom the report is to be generated. (The selection list is limited to those clients matching the roster date range settings selected in previous steps.)

9. Click the Charting Event Dates drop-down arrow and choose which events are to be included in the report based on related dates.  Available selections are:

  NOTE: In the event that you are creating a new charting events report format that will be saved, please be aware that the selection you make here is not saved with the report.  It, along with the date ranges, must be set each time the report is run.

  Due Date - The default value.  When this option is selected the report will only include chart events with DUE dates that fall within a specific date range, set in step 10.

  Done Date - When this option is selected the report will only include chart events with DONE dates that fall within a specific date range, set in step 10.

10. By default, the report only looks for events with dates (of the type specified in the previous step) that fall within the next two weeks.  In the From and To fields, make changes to the default date range as necessary (using mm/dd/yyyy format or the available date picker).  When doing so please keep in mind that a two year period of your choosing is the maximum length of time for which the report can be run.
11. Leave the Provide ExportBuilder Options checkbox unchecked.  It is NOT relevant to report generation.

  NOTE: This option is used to provide access to an ExportBuilder corresponding to the ReportBuilder with which you are working.  AWARDS ExportBuilders - which are designed for use by individuals who are familiar with export files and formats, their design, and setup - harness the power of ReportBuilder functionality and take it a step further to meet a variety of outside reporting needs.  With ExportBuilders, users can create customized data reports as they would with the ReportBuilder itself, and from those reports generate export files of a number of different types - CSV, TXT, XLS, or XML.  Exported files can be saved to your computer, then uploaded into other data collection systems and/or worked with in other applications as needed.  Additionally, as can be done with ReportBuilders, ExportBuilder formats can be saved and shared for future use.

The instructions provided here detail use of the Charting Events ReportBuilder only, not the corresponding ExportBuilder.  For more information on using ExportBuilders, click here.

12. If you would like the report (both its content and an Excel file version) to be sent to your AWARDS Messages module upon its completion, click the Send in AWARDS Message checkbox.  When this option is selected, you need not wait for the report to generate, and can navigate away from the ReportBuilder after finishing the configuration process (in step 14 or 23) - this can be a time-saver, especially when working with reports containing large amounts of data that might otherwise take a while to display in AWARDS.

  NOTE: When using this option the report will remain in your messages for one month, after which time it will be deleted.  (The exact date of deletion will be displayed in red at the top of the report message for your reference.)  If you know you will need the report content after that time, be sure to download the Excel file (Excel File.zip) or HTML content (Report Content.html) attached to the report message.  If you don't download one of these attachments before the message is deleted, you will need to manually re-generate the report if you need access to it in the future.

13. Use the Select a saved report format drop-down options at the bottom of the page to specify whether you will be generating the report from scratch or using a previously saved format.  Available choices are to:

  Use a previously saved report format - To generate the report using a previously created and saved format, select that format from this drop-down.  When using this method, you can immediately generate the report without changing any settings.  Alternately, you can first review and modify the settings of the format by checking off the available Provide option to modify settings of saved report format checkbox.

  Start from scratch, without using a previously saved report format - To create your own report format for single-time use or for saving and later re-use, leave the saved report format drop-down blank.

  NOTE: If you (or another user) have previously saved a default report format for this ReportBuilder and program, that format is pre-selected here.  Make changes to the selection as needed, or leave it at its default value.

14. Click CONTINUE. 

If you are using an existing report format and have NOT chosen to view/modify the settings of that format, you are now taken directly to the report page.  Continue with step 24.

  NOTE: If you chose to send the report to yourself via the Messages module (in step 12), a notice is first displayed on the page to let you know that report generation is in process and that the report will be sent to your Messages module upon completion.  You can then navigate away from the page, or wait for the report to complete and then proceed with step 24.   If you did NOT set that option, you can do so now by clicking Send to AWARDS Messages.  

In all other instances, the Options page is displayed.  Continue with step 15.

15. The Options page contains a list of variables grouped by type, and will include sections for "Demographics" and "Charting Event."

  NOTE: A section for "Date Parts" - common to all ReportBuilders that have date variables available for selection - is also included on this page.  It is intended to allow for greater flexibility of reporting around dates; for example, giving you the option to report out on a month as either a number (1) or a written month (January).

IMPORTANT! The "E-Signed" variable is only applicable for chart events that represent service plans.  When selected, the report will display "yes" for that variable if the chart event is a service plan that has been electronically signed; it will display "no" for all other event types, even if those event types represent FormBuilder forms that have in fact been signed.   If it's necessary to determine which forms scheduled as chart events have been electronically signed, please use the FormBuilder ReportBuilder in the Outcomes module instead.

Click the checkbox next to each variable to be included in the report, and/or use the available Check All options as needed.

16. Click CONTINUE.  The Report Options - Continued page is displayed.
17. Configure the options in the "Filter Options" portion of the page as necessary to adjust the scope of the report contents.  Set the "Show Individual Detail" and/or "Summary Tables" options to adjust the way in which the contents are displayed.

  TIP: Individual detail report options and/or summary table selections must be set before the report can be generated.  For more information on using the various report options, please click here.

18. To save the report settings so that this report can easily be re-run in the future, click SAVE REPORT FORMAT.  The Save Report Format dialog box is displayed.

  TIP: If it is not necessary to save the report format and you wish only to view the report contents, please skip to step 21. 

19. Configure the fields and options on this dialog box to indicate the specifics of how the format should be saved.

  TIP: For more information on using the save report format options, please click here. 

20. Click Save Report Format.  The report format is saved and the Report Options - Continued page is re-displayed.
21. Click DISPLAY REPORT.  The report is generated and displayed on the ReportBuilder page.

  NOTE: If you chose to send the report to yourself via the Messages module (in step 12), a notice is displayed on the page to let you know that report generation is in process and that the report will be sent to your Messages module upon completion.  You can then navigate away from the page, or wait for the report to complete, and then proceed with step 22. If you did NOT set that option, you can do so now by clicking Send to AWARDS Messages.   

22. At this time individual detail and/or summary table content can be hidden or sorted as needed.  The report can also be printed or exported to Microsoft Excel.  For more information on working with ReportBuilder report contents, please click here. 

  NOTE: When working with report data, please keep in mind that when a report is long enough to require you to scroll down the page to view all of its content, the header row of the data table (individual detail and/or summary) "freezes" at the top of the page.  Similarly, when printing a report that covers more than one page, the header row of any tables split between pages is shown at the top of each page.

The process of generating a Charting Events ReportBuilder report is now complete.
