Getting started with reporting

By the end of this guide, you’ll have checked your organization’s health on the dashboard, run your first revenue summary report, and exported it — the monthly-close routine most admins repeat each month. It takes about 10 minutes.

What you’ll need

Section titled “What you’ll need”
  • An admin account with the reports:view, reports:run, and reports:export permissions (typically all included in the default Admin role).
  • At least a few members and payments in MapleGather so the numbers are meaningful.

Step 1 — Check your dashboard

Section titled “Step 1 — Check your dashboard”
  1. Sign in to MapleGather. You land on your dashboard at /admin/dashboard.
  2. Review your Rate metrics: MRR, Churn Rate, and Retention Rate give you a quick read on financial health. Members Gained/Lost/Net tells you whether membership is growing.
  3. Check Needs attention: if Overdue renewals or Outstanding invoices show a number, select the card to go straight to the filtered list of members who need follow-up.
  4. Select the ? on any rate metric card to open the methodology panel. You’ll see the exact formula MapleGather uses to calculate that metric. A detailed breakdown of member-level drill-down isn’t available yet — it’s coming in an update.
  5. The freshness note below “Dashboard” tells you when the numbers were last calculated. Dashboard metrics update nightly.

You should now see your organization’s current health metrics in one place.

Step 2 — Run a revenue summary report

Section titled “Step 2 — Run a revenue summary report”
  1. In the sidebar, select Reports.
  2. Select Revenue summary.
  3. Set your date range. For a monthly close, choose the first and last day of the month you’re closing.
  4. Choose your basis:
    • Accrual counts revenue when you billed it.
    • Cash counts revenue when the payment arrived.
    • If you’re reconciling against your bank statement, use Cash. Select the ? to read the plain-language explanation.
  5. Select Run report. In a moment, a revenue-by-period table appears with a footer confirming the basis.
  6. Review the totals. If results look unexpected, see Report shows no results or wrong totals.

You should now see a revenue table for your chosen period and basis.

Step 3 — Export your report

Section titled “Step 3 — Export your report”
  1. With the report rendered, select Export in the page header.
  2. Choose PDF for a formatted document suitable for a board packet, or CSV for a spreadsheet handoff to your accountant.
  3. In the export dialog, review the column selection (all visible columns are included by default). Select Export PDF (or Export CSV).
  4. If your report has 1,000 rows or fewer, the file downloads immediately. If it has more, MapleGather emails you the link and queues it in Your exports.
