Keela's Reports tool is the one-stop-shop to look at your organization's data in-depth. Here you can look at overarching trends, get a snapshot of some of your macro-level data and consolidate targeted lists of transactions, contacts or volunteer records.
New: When you open Reports, it now opens on the Mission Assistant tab (Beta), where you can ask questions about your donors and giving in plain language, or start from a template. Your dashboards are on the Dashboards tab next to it, and your existing reports and dashboards haven't changed. To learn more, see How to use Mission Assistant in Reports.

Using the Reports Tool
Keela stores a ton of data, which are organized in different collections. You can report on these data collections by generating Contacts, Donations, Revenues or Volunteer record reports.
Keela provides "One-Click Reports", where relevant filters and widgets are already added, or you can create your own Custom Report. Whichever option you choose, you can always add additional filters to narrow down your criteria.
Steps to Build a Report
- Select Reports in the side menu. You'll land on the Mission Assistant tab
- Select the Dashboards tab
- Click "Create Dashboard"
- Choose between a One-Click or Custom Report
One-Click vs. Custom Reports
One-Click Reports
One-Click Reports will give you a list of pre-created reports where the filters have been automatically applied.
Custom Reports
Build a report from scratch and add the filters yourself.
- Custom Contacts Reports: This resource will allow you to look at lists of all the individuals and companies in your Keela account.
- Custom Transaction Reports: This resource will allow you to look at the list of all your donations and revenue payments in your Keela account.
- Custom Donations Reports: This resource will allow you to look at the list of all your donations in your Keela account.
- Custom Revenues Reports: This resource will allow you to look at the list of all your revenues in your Keela account.
- Custom Volunteer Records Reports: This resource will allow you to look at lists of all the volunteer activities in your Keela account.

FAQs
Should I use Mission Assistant or a dashboard?
Use Mission Assistant for a quick answer or a ready-made report with a summary, key metrics, charts and tables that you can download as a PDF or CSV. Use the Dashboards tab to build a One-Click or Custom Report, as described above. Mission Assistant reports don't yet include tags, pledges, soft credits, to-dos, interactions, forms, emails, custom fields or keywords.
Did my existing dashboards change?
No. Your existing reports and dashboards are unchanged and are on the Dashboards tab.
