Report Filtering Options
Reports are built to include recommended fields, however, you may customize the report to get more granular in the information that you are looking to analyze.

Operator Description Is Equal Use this operator to look for results that are exactly equal what you input into the text box. For example, if running the drop report searching for members who have dropped because membership was too expensive, you would select Is Equal and type Too Expensive in the text box. Is Not Equal Use this operator to exclude from your report results what you have input into the text box. For example, if running the drop report, and you would like to see all of the members who dropped, except those who dropped because membership was too expensive, you would select Is Not Equal and type Too Expensive in the text box.
