Online Tracker Help


Goal 3. Creating Reports



Learn how to run Group and Historical reports in the Online Tracker to monitor learning progress.

Goal 3: Run Group and Historical Reports for selected Groups.



About the Reports

  • All reported data comes from slider bar values set for individual Choices, in the Online Tracker accounts of those participating in a Group. Reported values include Started, Good, and Proficient. See the corresponding Exercises in The Family History Guide for descriptions of how to achieve Good or Proficient levels for a given Choice.
  • All charts are the same height; the left axis is adjusted to display the numeric range for the report.
  • You can hover over any bar on a report to see its description and totals.
