About The Reports

Both the [OUTS-105] and [OUTS-106] reports deal with client demographics in similar ways, but with a major difference:

  • [OUTS-105] provides client demographic details for anyone receiving selected services within the report date range. If a service is provided to a HoH group members are not included in this report; a separate report would need to be run for each group member in the program.
    • You will see two versions of [OUTS-105]: [OUTS-105] Client Demographics (Flat Version) and [OUTS-105] Client Demographics.  The Flat Version does not contain charts, graphs, and figures, while the latter version does contain charts, graphs, and figures. 
  • [OUTS-106] provides client demographic details for selected programs for a specified date range. 


Each is important because they allow you to view and track data for multiple clients at a glance, which may help judge the effectiveness of your agency's programs and services. 


The [OUTS-105] Client Demographics report retrieves its data from the client profile screen, while [OUTS-106] Client Demographics retrieves data from both the client profile screen and the client's program enrollment screen. 


For example, the first chart in each report groups clients along the X-axis by age range, while the Y-axis shows the number of clients. Below the chart is a table with the same information. When displaying the information as a web page, you can drill-down from the table (see the Knowledge Base article on 'Outputs' for more information about viewing the data). 



Most of the other information is displayed as pie charts with tables underneath.
