The webinar explores the various summary options available within Apricot's reporting functionality. These summaries allow users to transform rows of data into meaningful insights that convey the organization's impact. The webinar covers section counts, which display the total number of records in a report, column summaries that provide calculations like totals, averages, and distinct counts, and summary sections that consolidate key data points from across the report into a concise, visual overview.
The webinar emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate summary type based on the data and the reporting needs. For example, averaging age data may be more meaningful than totaling it. Utilizing the "count distinct" feature to obtain an unduplicated participant count is also highlighted as a best practice. The webinar encourages users to leverage calculation columns within summary sections to perform additional analysis, such as calculating average service hours per participant. By mastering these summary techniques, Apricot users can transform their data into impactful reports that clearly communicate their organization's progress and outcomes.
