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. For Example: When working with the Dropped Membership Report, if you wish to view a list of the members that have dropped for a certain reason, you can generate the report by setting the Criteria / Filters.
Use the following procedure on all reports, to set filtering criteria.
- In the Criteria / Filters section, click the
icon.
- Select the field on which you wish to filter from the drop-down list. The fields available will vary based on the report you are working with.
- Select the desired Operator. Operators will vary dependent on the field you have chosen. The operators is used to specify the condition that must be met to be included in your report. See the Report Filtering Operators below.
Report Filtering Operators
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. Starts With Use this operator to look for results where the beginning of the field begins with the letters that you have input into the text box. For Example, if running the Event Discount Activity Report, and you are Contains Use this operator to include in your results, fields that match a letter, word or phrase that you enter. Not Contains Use this operator to exclude from your results, fields that match a letter, word or phrase that you enter. Ends With Use this operator to include in your results fields that end with the letter or word you enter. Is Empty Use this operator to include in your results, fields that are NOT populated. For Example: When if you wish to run a report to identify primary contacts that do not have an email address, you can generate the Contact's Report, and set filtering, as shown below. Is Not Empty Use this operator to include in your results, fields that are populated. Before Generally used for dates, this option would be used when looking for dates that are "before" a certain date. For example, you could use this when looking for Membership Start Dates that are earlier than a certain date. If I wish to find all memberships started prior to 1/1/2018, using the Membership Report, my filter option would display as shown below. After Generally used for dates, this option would be used when looking for dates that are "after" a certain date. For example, you could use this when looking for Membership Start Dates that are later than a certain date. If I wish to find all memberships started after 12/31/2017, using the Membership Report, the filter would be as shown below: Between Generally used for dates, this option would be used when looking for dates that are "between" two dates. For Example:If I wish to find all memberships started after 12/31/2017 and before 1/1/2019, using the Membership Report, the filter would be as shown below: Greater Than Generally used for numeric or monetary values, this option would be used when you wish to find results that are more than (but not equal to) the value you specify. For Example: If you wish to find all contacts who owe you more than $500.00, using the Accounts Receivable Detail Report, the filter would be as shown below. Greater Than or Equal Example Less Than Generally used for numeric or monetary values, this option would be used when you wish to find results that are less than (but not equal to) the value you specify. For Example: If you wish to find all contacts where accounts receivable aging is less than 30 days, using the Accounts Receivable Detail Report, the filter would be as shown below. Less Than or Equal Generally used for numeric or monetary values, this option would be used when you wish to find results that are less than or equal to the value you specify.
You can include multiple search/filter criteria using the And or Or function.
- The AND operator displays a record if All of your filter criteria are met.
- The OR operator displays a record if any of the conditions are met.
For Example: Using the Contacts Report, I wish to find primary contacts where both the default email address AND the default phone are not populated in the database. My filtering criteria would be as shown below.
For Example: Using the New Membership Report, I wish to find those members who joined either for Educational Purposes OR for Networking Purposes. My filtering criteria would be as shown below.

Membership Reports
Common Membership Calculations
Does the thought of having to calculate retention, churn, or the cost of acquiring a new member make your head hurt? For many association pros, crunching numbers is (unfortunately) a part of their daily grind. You don’t have to be a math person to use these seven common calculations to determine everything from renewal rates to average length of membership.
Retention Rate
Retention Rate is the percentage of members retained over a given period of time. This metric can be calculated if you know how many members you had at the beginning of a period, and many you had at the end of a period.
CALCULATION: (End Count - New Members) ÷ Start Count = Retention Rate |
The Dashboard will provide the Start Count and the End Count needed for this calculation.
- Click Dashboard in the left-hand navigation.
- Click the Metrics tab.
- Click the
icon next to Total Memberships. NOTE: if you have removed this widget from your dashboard, click the Add Widget button to place it on your dashboard.
- Click Edit Widget.
- Select Custom from the Duration drop-down list.
- Enter the desired dates in the Duration Date Range.
- Click Done. The Total Memberships widget will refresh displaying metrics for the desired date range.
Start Count = 2331 End Count = 2914
Generate the New Membership report to find New Members. Generate the report for the same date range used above.
See New Membership Report for further instructions on generating the New Membership Report.
New Members = 848
CALCULATION: (End Count - New Members) ÷ Start Count = Retention Rate
(2914 - 848) ÷ 2331 = .88 88% Retention Rate
Lapse Rate (Churn)
The Lapse Rate (Churn) is the percentage of members that discontinue their membership over a given period of time.
CALCULATION: Dropped Members ÷ Start Count = Lapse Rate |
The Start Count is calculated as described in Retention Rate above.
Start Count = 2331
The Dropped Membership Report may be used to calculate Dropped Members. Generate the report using the same date range used to find the Start Count. See Dropped Membership Report for instructions on generating the report.
Dropped Count = 241
CALCULATION: Dropped Members ÷ Start Count = Lapse Rate
241 ÷ 2331 = .10 Lapse Rate = 10%
Renewal Rate
Renewal Rate is the percentage of members that renew their membership over a given time period.
CALCULATION: # of Renewals ÷ Eligible Members = Renewal Rate |
NOTE: Using the criteria described below will get an overall Renewal Rate, not specific to a certain year - but for all time. You could use this to judge if you are moving the right direction each time to run this stat. |
The Membership Report will provide you with the information to calculate the Renewal Rate. You will generate the report twice, each with different filtering options.
First: Generate the Membership Report with the following filtering criteria to find the # of Renewals:
- Set Membership Status set to Active and Courtesy.
- Add a Criteria / Filters for Membership Start Date Before and set the date to the first date of your search criteria. For example if you are looking for your renewal rate for up until 1-1-2017, you would set the before date to 1/1/2017.
In the example above, # of Renewals = 2560.
Second: Generate the Membership Report with the following filtering criteria to find Eligible Members"
- Set Membership Status set to Active, Courtesy, Dropped, Expired. Do not include Non-Member or other statuses since these were never up for renewal and thus not part of your eligible members.
- Add a Criteria / Filters for Membership Start Date Before and set the date to the first date of your search criteria. For example if you are looking for your renewal rate for 2017, you would set the before date to 1/1/2017.
In the example above, Eligible Members = 3180.
CALCULATION: # of Renewals ÷ Eligible Members = Renewal Rate
2560 ÷ 3180 = .80 80% Renewal Rate
See Membership Report for further instructions on generating the report.
Average Membership Tenure (AMT)
Average Membership Tenure is the average length of time a member stays with the organization. This can be useful in projecting expected membership tenure for new members
CALCULATION: 1 ÷ Lapse Rate = AMT |
Lapse Rate is calculated as described above in Lapse Rate (Churn).
- 1 ÷ .10 = 10
- Average Membership Tenure in Years is 10 years
Member Lifetime Value (MLV)
Member Lifetime Value (MLV) is the measure of monetary value of member based on projected length of membership.
Calculation: Net member-paid revenue ÷ # of members x AMT = MLV |
The Total Spending by Contact Report can be used to calculate the MLV. Set the Membership Status criteria to Active and Courtesy to see all dues and non-dues generated by your members.
To get the Net value, you need to subtract your operating costs from that total. You can get your operating costs from your accountant. This will give you your Net Member-paid revenue.
The End Count can be obtained from the Retention Rate calculation, described above.
AMT can be obtained from the Average Membership Tenure (AMT) calculation, described above.
Example:
- In 2017, there were 3,000 total members who collectively invested $550,000 in dues and contributed $325,000 in non-dues revenue. The operating costs were $650,000 and the organization’s AMT (average membership tenure) was 17 years.
- $550,000 + $325,000 = $875,000 (dues revenue plus member-generated nondues revenue)
- $875,000 – $650,000 = $225,000 (total member-generated revenue minus total operating costs)
- $225,000 ÷ 3,000 = $75 (net member-generated revenue divided by number of members)
- $75 x 17 = $1,275 (average member contributed revenue x AMT)
- MEMBER LIFETIME VALUE = $1,275
Member Acquisition Cost (MAC)
Member Acquisition Cost (MAC) is the total monetary cost associated with recruiting a new member. To effectively maintain and/or grow an organization, it is necessary to assign an average monetary value to potential membership sales.
Total recruitment cost ÷ # of new members = MAC |
- Calculate the # of new members as described in Retention Rate above.
- The Total Recruitment cost would be available from your accountant.
Example:
- At the end of 2017, 75 new members had joined and $28,875 was spent on new member recruitment.
- $28875 ÷ 75 = $385
- MEMBER ACQUISITION COST = $385
MLV to MAC ratio
The MLV to MAC ratio is the measurement of the relationship between the lifetime value of a member and the cost of acquiring that member. Best Practice: Aim for 3:1 as the target ratio.
CALCULATION: MLV : MAC |
Calculate your Member Lifetime Value (MLV) and Member Acquisition Cost (MAC) as described above.
- Example: In 2017, the average lifetime value per member was $1,275. $32,000 was budgeted for member recruitment and $28,875 was spent. Breaking down those numbers further means the budgeted recruitment cost was $425/ new member and the actual recruitment spend was $385/ new member.
- Goal ratio = 3 : 1 ($1,275 : $425)
- Actual ratio = 3.3 : 1 ($1,275 : $385)
Membership Change Report
The Membership Change Report provides you with a way to view and analyze membership type changes, as well as fee changes. For example, if you have had a major marketing campaign to upgrade members to a higher membership level, you can generate this report based on the Membership Purchase Type and a specified change date range. You could also include Sales contact in your report, if you want to see which sales person was responsible for the upgrade.
The report may be filtered on the following standard criteria:
- Sales Contact

GrowthZone Pay Disputes
Disputes are an unfortunate part of accepting payments online, but they are not typically common. Disputes and the reasons for them (e.g., fraud) are ultimately your responsibility so you must take the appropriate actions to prevent and respond to disputes.
When a dispute is filed for a credit card charge, a notification is sent to the email listed in Credit Card Account/Dispute Notifications Email under the Payment Gateway settings. Within the email is a link that allows for answering the dispute. There is a dispute resolution process through which you can respond and submit evidence to make the case that the payment was valid. If the dispute is found in your favor, the disputed amount and fee is returned back to you. If a dispute is upheld, the card issuer’s decision is final and the cardholder’s payment remains refunded. NOTE: There is a specific Respond by Date, if a response is not received by this date the dispute is automatically lost.
The GrowthZone Pay Disputes report will provide further information of disputes, and also provide the opportunity to submit further documentation.
