You can restrict the results to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One or more selected activities<\/li>\n<li>Different date range<\/li>\n<li>Single firm or contact at a firm and\/or<\/li>\n<li>One or more redemption types (such as cash or gift cards).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The report defaults to displaying points activity by month and year. You can choose to have it break down activity by quarters too which can be helpful when viewing information over a longer date range.<\/p>\n<p>The report displays a list of all contacts with points activity that fit your search criteria, grouped by firm, in year-to-date totals. Firms are listed in order of points earned in descending order. Contacts are listed similarly within each firm. Each contact\u2019s point activities are subtotaled by type (earned, adjustment, transfer, redemption) in each year, month, and quarter (optionally), with grand totals of each type for the entire date range.<\/p>\n<p>Like other interactive reports in RB9 you can quickly switch between detailed and summary views of the report. While the default view is to view points activity by contact, you can \u201ccollapse\u201d the view to firm listings, which merges points activity in each activity type column for all contacts at a firm. You can also toggle individual firms between the collapsed\/summary view and the breakdown-by-contact view.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly the initial results in the report are displayed as yearly totals. You can \u201cexpand\u201d the view to see the monthly (and quarterly, if desired) subtotals and toggle between summary and monthly (and quarterly) views for individual years\/quarters.<\/p>\n<p>The Reward Points Analysis report is uneditable.\u00a0You can export it to save, use in other applications, or print out.<\/p>\n<p><em>NOTE: This is an RB9-only function.
