In this article, we will cover how you can interact with your aggregated report data on PINATA including filtering, downloading, pivoting and gathering more information across the Reports and Financials tabs. Click HERE to see a quick video on an example of interacting with your data.
Filters
By expanding FILTERS at the top of your view, you will see certain criteria that you can use to filter the corresponding data. These can vary depending on the report, see an example of the Overview report below.
Simply click the filters you want, then select apply. The data you now see will reflect the filters that have been chosen.
Pro Tip: If you have selected an individual program at the top of the dashboard, all reports will be filtered to only look at the data for that program.
