Every Spektrix system comes with a wide range of Standard Reports available by default, which allow you to report on all sorts of information about customers, events, sales, fundraising activity, and much more. In this article we’re taking a look at all of these Standard Reports and breaking down the details of each one and what it’s best used for so that you can understand what’s available and quickly find the most suitable report for your needs.

How to use this article

You’re welcome to go through the reports here from top to bottom, but we'd suggest searching the article for specific words in order to see which reports are most appropriate for what you need. For each report we've included a range of information which you can easily search through:

• Type: which report type each report is based on (see this article for information on different report types)
• Criteria Set: which Criteria Set(s) each report can be run using by default
• Items reported on: which items (orders, order items, campaigns, etc.) each report looks at 
• Description: a quick description of what each report does
• Best use: which areas of business each report is most useful for
• Other keywords: anything else which might be appropriate to search for, against each report

The easiest way of searching for this information is by using the standard search functionality in your browser. Use Ctrl + F (or ⌘ + F on a Mac) to start a search, then enter the word or phrase you’re looking for. Here are a few suggestions:

• Search by department best use: e.g. box office, marketing, fundraising, finance, etc.
• Search by keyword: e.g. financial reconciliation, credit card, promo code, capacity, etc.
• Search by type: e.g. searching for Type: Analysis will highlight the reports with an Analysis report type
