The following is a brief summary of each report's purpose and parameters. Legacy reports, which remain in the system for the sake of consistency but have become obsolete or are otherwise not recommended, are not listed here.

Case Statistics Report
The Case Statistics Report tells you what your firm did for the period you selected. Here are the parameters you can set:
‘Days Back From’ and ‘Days Back To’ - The Number of Days to include in the Report: The ‘Days Back From’ is the furthest number of days in the past you want to include in the report and the ‘Days Back To’ is the number of days closest to the current date you want to include. For example, ‘Days Back From’ could be 30 and ‘Days Back To’ could be 0 (zero). In the foregoing example, your report would include statistics form as far back as 30 days ago to today (today being zero). So, if today’s date was November 12, 2018, and we used the same 30 and 0, respectively, our report would include statistics from October 13, 2018, to November 12, 2018.
Case Group and Case Type: You can have your report generate statistics for one or more individual Case Group(s) or All Case Groups and one or more individual Case Type(s) or all Case Types as defined in your system. (Note – Although both Case Group and Case Type give you the option of selecting ‘none,’ more than likely you will be making a selection in those categories. ‘None’ is included so that you can, in rare circumstances, select that option where you may have cases in your system that do not have a defined Case Group and/or Case Type – most often the result of a conversion where no Group or Type were defined in your old system)
Sign Up Statuses: Here you can select from among the Pre-sign Statuses defined in your system that you want the report to include, (i.e., those cases are being signed up).
Always Include: Here you can select from your available Advertisement Sources that you always want included in the report. The source(s) selected here will be included in the report even if no cases with this source were created. Other Sources will be included only if there is at least one case with that source.
Use Current Time as Start/End Time: Selecting ‘Yes’ will use the present time the report is run as the start time and end time for the report. For example, if ‘Yes’ is selected and the report is run at 10:00 am, it will include statistics covering 10:00 am from the date used for ‘Days Back’ to 10:00 am for the date used for ‘Days To.’ If ‘No’ is selected the system will use 12:00 midnight as the start and end time for the respective dates.
Referred/Referring Out Statuses: Here you can select statues that indicate the case is being referred out.
Rejected Statuses: Here you can choose statuses that indicate that the case is rejected or being rejected.
Start of Project Date: Here you can designate a specific date that you want to include in your report. This may be useful for those situations where you have certain campaigns going and you want to determine how effective or successful the campaign is. Making this selection will show ‘New Inquiries since the project started’ (the date specified) in your report.
Don’t Split by Case Group: If set to ‘True,’ your report will include a single number combining Signups or inquiries for all Case Groups. If set to ‘False,’ your report will give you the statistics broken down by Case Groups. In essence, ‘False’ gives you more granularity for your report.
Hide Individual Advertising Sources: If set to ‘True,’ the results of your advertising sources (advertisement campaigns) will not be displayed individually in your report. If set to ‘False,’ your report will show results for each specific Advertisement Source individually.
