The Report
The Activity Timeline Report allows you to view and export a list of custom and system-generated activities from your members' records.
Here are some examples of what you could search for:
Notes by keywords and subject, such as why members did not renew.
Event registrations and manual CEUs all in one place.
Members who started or stopped receiving benefits from their parent company within the last month.
View the Activity Report
Go to the backend and click Reporting in the left sidebar.
Then click on Activity Report.
Use the Search field and Filters to narrow down the results.
When the report opens, by default the list will automatically populate all activities for Active records (i.e. not deleted) and will default to showing activities that have occurred up until today.
Use the gear icon to add or remove display columns, and select how many rows to view per page.
