Summary report

To view the summary report, go to Reports > Summary report in the main menu or click See full reports on the dashboard home page.

The summary report shows transfers for up to the last 12 months. The default reporting period is 30 days.

You can view the top organizations, countries and applications that generated transfers. Each statistic also has comparison data, showing if the number of transfers is higher or lower than in the previous equivalent period.

You can download the report as a file that includes more detailed information. If you open the file in a spreadsheet you can then manipulate the data further, for example by splitting out statistics for different sub-organizations (if relevant).

Summary report, showing the total number of transfers, average transfers per day, and unique organizations. This followed by a breakdown of transfers per organization, for the 'Top parent organizations' over the past 30 days. There is also a button labeled 'Download'. — Default view, showing transfers broken down by parent organization

Set date range

From the drop-down list at the top of the page, select the date range to view. The smallest date range is seven days. The largest is 12 months.

Top of the summary report page. The date range drop-down list, which by default is set to 30 days, is open to show the available options - 'Last 12 months', 'Last 180 days', 'Last 90 days', 'Last 30 days' and 'Last 7 days'.

Depending on the volume of traffic in your statistics, selecting a longer date range might cause the report to load slowly. Some reports may be too large to display in the browser, although you can still download them as a file.

Compare data from previous period

Alongside your total number of transfers and the numbers for individual organizations, applications or countries, another number shows the change from the previous reporting period. For example, “+6” shows that six more transfers took place in the currently selected date range than in the previous one. “7, up from 4” shows that seven transfers took place in the current date range, an increase from four in the previous one. The comparison is highlighted in green if it’s an increase, in red if it’s a decrease.

The date range used for comparison is the last one of equivalent length. For example, if you view a report for the last 30 days, the comparison period will be the 30 days before that.

Break down the data

You can break down the transfer statistics in several ways. By default, the summary report shows statistics by Top parent organization. This view lists the top-level organizations or institutions from which most of your traffic comes.

To see a different breakdown, select it from the Summarize by drop-down list.

Drop-down menu labeled 'Summarize by'. The menu is open to show available options - 'Top parent organizations' (which is currently selected),'Top organizations', 'Top countries' and 'Top applications'.

The options are:

Top parent organizations. The default. Shows the number of transfers from each top-level organization, with the organization that generated the most transfers listed first.
Top organizations. Similar to Top parent organizations, but if a customer organization is divided into multiple sub-organizations, each sub-organization is shown separately. (If none of your customers have sub-organizations, this data view is effectively the same as Top parent organizations.)
Top countries. Shows the number of transfers from each country in which your customers are based or registered.
Top applications. If you have multiple applications, shows the number of transfers to each application. An application can be a specific journal, database, etc.

Summary report, showing the total number of transfers, average transfers by day, and unique organizations. This is followed by a breakdown of transfers per application, for the 'Top applications' over the past 30 days. There is also a button labeled 'Download'. — Transfers broken down by application
