Updated over a week ago

🔷 Step 1: Create Your Custom Report

Follow these steps to set up the basic structure of your custom weekly report.

1️⃣ Go to Custom Reports

From your dashboard, navigate to:
Stats ➝ Custom Reports

2️⃣ Click “Create Report”

This opens the report setup window where you’ll configure the details of your report.

3️⃣ Fill Out the Report Settings

🔘 Visibility

  • Private – Only you can view/edit the report

  • Shared – Others on your team can access it

📝 Report Name

  • Enter a name you’ll recognize, e.g.,
    “Weekly New Patient Tracker” or “Yearly Practice Stats”

🕒 Time Frame

  • Choose how much time the report will cover (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly):

🔢 Range Size

  • Enter the number of time periods to include (e.g., 1 month or 4 weeks)

  • This determines how much historical data is shown

📅 Start From

  • Choose where the report should start from:

  • Previous – Pulls data from the last completed period

  • Current – Pulls data from the ongoing period

  • Next – Future (used for scheduling)

📆 Breakdown By

  • Choose how to split the data inside the report:

  • Day – See daily trends

  • Week – View weekly breakdown (recommended)

  • Month – Monthly view inside a larger time frame

⚠️ Note: If you break down by week, partial weeks at the beginning or end of a month may show incomplete data.

(Optional) Exclude Non-Working Days (best for daily stats)

  • If checked, most exclude weekends from averages only

✅ Click Save

Once all settings are configured, click Save to create your report.
You’ll then be able to start adding rows and metrics in Step 2.

🔷 Step 2: Add Rows and Map Your Metrics

Now that your report is created, you can begin adding rows for each stat or metric you want to track.

1️⃣ Open Your Report

  • Go to Stats ➝ Custom Reports

  • Click the report you created in Step 1


2️⃣ Click “Edit Report”

  • You'll find this button in the report builder

  • A new section will appear where you can group related metrics


3️⃣ Add a Section

Go to Add Section.

Give each section a clear, descriptive title. Example section names:

  • New Patients

  • Financial Metrics

  • Office Visits

💡 Tip: Use one section per category to keep reports clean and easy to read.

✅ Click Add Section

Once your section is created, move on to adding individual metrics inside that section.

🔷 Step 2B: Add Rows (Metrics)

Each row you add will track a single stat, such as how many new patients scheduled, how much was collected, or your conversion rate.

1️⃣ Inside Your Section, Click “Add Row”

This creates a new metric row inside the section you just added.


2️⃣ Configure the Row

🏷️ Name the Row

Give the stat a clear name. Example:

  • Visits (Scheduled)

  • Visits (Checked In)

📊 Choose the Metric Type

This tells the system what kind of data to track.

Go to "Add Variable"

Select a source from the drop-down list (for example, Visits (checked in))

🔍 Apply Filters

Filters narrow down what the row includes. Common filters:

  • Appointment Type (e.g., New Patient, ROF)

  • Appointment Status (e.g., exclude "Rescheduled")

  • Tags (e.g., np start)

  • Service Codes (for CPT revenue tracking)

Example:
To track NP Shows:

  • Type: Visit (Checked In)

  • Filter: Appointment Type = New Patient


3️⃣ (Optional) Create a Formula

To calculate things like conversion rates:

  • Select Formula as the metric type

  • Use existing row values (e.g., NP Conversions ÷ NP Shows)

  • Set output as a percentage

  • Enable “Show as Average” if applicable


4️⃣ Repeat for All Stats You Need

Add a row for each important stat in your report. Suggested metrics:

📌 New Patient Metrics

  • NP Scheduled

  • NP Shows

  • NP Conversions

  • NP Conversion Rate (Formula)

💵 Financial

  • $ Total Collected

  • $ Total Billed

  • $ Applied Payments

🔁 Retention & Reactivation

  • Lost Patients

  • Returning Old Patients

🧾 Services

  • Total Services

  • Revenue by CPT Code

  • CPT Codes per Visit (Formula)


✅ Click Save

After adding all your rows, save your report. You're now ready to view, share, or automate it.

🔷 Step 3: Sending Reports

1️⃣ Go to Send Report

From your Custom Report, go to Send report.

2️⃣ Set Your Delivery Preferences

  • Enter the email address of the recipient(s)

  • Enter the email subject

  • Add a message (optional)

  • Choose to share the report in HTML file or in an Excel spreadsheet.

3️⃣ Add a schedule (optional)

Choose how often the report should be emailed:

  • Daily

  • Weekly (Recommended for weekly reports)

  • Monthly

  • Yearly

💡 Example: Choose Weekly and set the day to Monday to receive a report every Monday with the prior week’s data.
