Changing Custom Report Options

Learn how to quickly modify the Planning Center custom reports to change which categories and options are shown.

Before you get started, this video may also be helpful:

Go to planningcenteronline.com/reports

Media_1314733607030_display

Only site administrators can edit custom reports. You can also click print anywhere in Planning Center and click the "edit custom reports" link to the right of the report chooser.

Click "create a report"

Media_1314733714271_display

Give your report a name and choose the template you want to modify

Media_1314733785902_display

Click Accept when you are done

Edit options in the QUICK CUSTOMIZATION section

Media_1314733849517_display

Choose what to print or exclude using true and false

Media_1314733961889_display

At the top of this report, you can see that it will not print Plan Notes because it is set to false. If you'd like to print Plan Notes, just change false to true.

Set Categories to Print

Media_1314734200835_display

By default, when you set a section (like people) to print, it will print all people. If you don't want to print all people, or you want to print all people but in a different order, then you would need to set assign all_categories to false. Then below, you can indicate which categories you want to print in the correct order. If all_categories is set to true, then your category names and order in the report will be ignored.

Make sure you put your categories names in EXACTLY like they are titled in your plans including capitalization and spacing. If your category names aren't exact, they won't print.

Save your changes

Media_1314734483303_display

Click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the window to save your report.
