Event Reports

Event reports let you list, filter, and analyse your events from every angle — by status, month, tag, team, venue, source, resource, cost type, and more. These are your go-to reports for understanding what's happening across your event portfolio.

Tips & Best Practices

Tip: Use the Events List (by Status) report as your primary event reporting tool. Enable the optional columns you need and save the report for quick reuse.
Tip: The Events by Team report with three date columns is ideal for quarterly reviews — set each column to a different quarter to compare team output side by side.
Tip: Run the Events with Missing Cost Types report regularly to maintain data quality. Clean cost data leads to more accurate financial and cost type reports.
Tip: Use Events by Source alongside the Conversion Rate report (under Staff & Team Reports) to understand which channels bring in enquiries and which ones convert best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between "Events" and "Events List"?

The Events report is a simpler general listing. The Events List (also known as Events by Status) is the full-featured version with status groupings, 30+ optional columns, and the contracted events summary option.

Q: Can I see when an event's status changed?

Yes. Use the Event Status History report to see which statuses each event has passed through, based on the revision history.

Q: How do I compare event numbers across different time periods?

Use the Events by Team report with its three configurable date columns. Each column can have its own date range.

Q: Why are some events missing from my report?

Check these common causes:



    • The event may be marked as not included in reports (the "Include in reports" toggle is set to No)

    • Your date range or status filters may be too narrow

    • Team-based filtering may exclude events from teams you haven't selected

    • The event may not have the resource, tag, or source you're filtering by


Q: Can I see lost reasons in my event reports?

Yes. In the Events List report, enable the Lost Reason optional column. This shows why each lost event was marked as lost.
