Reporting and exporting


This guide will demonstrate how to filter through your system's database to display a list of case as search results. It will then describe how to choose which information is displayed against your cases. We then look at how to generate some statistics from your results, and finally we discuss how to export the view of your results to excel.

Filtering your results

Your eKeeper system can contain a potentially vast database of Cases and Products, and also Applicants/Clients assigned to those Cases or Products. The eKeeper reporting tool enables you to filter down your database and display a list of cases that meet a particular set of criteria that you provide. This section will show you how to filter your database down by your desired criteria; for example, you may wish to display cases that have completed in the month of May, or find cases that enquired in January.

To begin navigate to your Homepage (see right) and look for the Reports button in the top right corner of the page (figure 1)

Selecting search area

You will now see the Search Criteria selection page. To continue select the area you wish to search using the appropriate button at the top of right of the page (figure 2)


Figure 2 - Search Area buttons 


You have the opportunity to search by the following areas

  • Cases - Cases house your customer's products
  • Customers (clients) - these are the individuals 
  • Products - A button will apear for each product type in your system i.e. Mortgages, Protection etc.



Selecting your Search Criteria

Now that you have chosen your area, you will see a number of search criteria on the page in front of you. Below is an example of a search against 'Mortgages'. To continue simply select your desired criteria.

Note

If you have already performed a search since you logged in, you may some criteria has been remembered from your last search. Click the clear search button on the bottom navigation bar to renew your search



Important

Note that once you have selected your criteria and clicked search your search results will only display cases and products that exactly match all the criteria you have selected.




Selecting the information to be displayed

So far you have selected the criteria that filters your database down and restricts the results that are displayed when you click search. However the information that displays against your cases/products is key to the report that is produced. To determine the information displayed you need to select a search view, this will decide on the information that is displayed against your results 

To select a search view, scroll to the bottom of the page and find a section titled How would you like to display the results? (figure 4). This will list the current search views available in your system.

What is a search view?

When performing a search, your results will normally be grouped by case or product. A search view determines which information from those cases/products are displayed.

Confirming your search

To confirm your search click the Search button that appears in the bottom navigation bar (figure 4).

Include columns/Rows with no entries

Choose to show or hide rows and columns where there is no data held against that breakdown entry. E.g. If you show the empty rows for a breakdown by lender and Nationwide has not been selected against any of your search results. Then a row will appear, however the data display in the grouping will be blank.

Here you can decide on the type of statistic that will be returned from the grouping. i.e. number of products grouped together by the breakdown selected
