Get ready for a better way to run demographics reports in SCOUT. Our new reporting interface gives you control over which fields are displayed and how they are displayed so you can create the demographics report that meets your needs.
All current SCOUT U.S. demographics report options will be replaced with one new configurable demographics report as part of the platform release on August 29, 2024.
With our new configurable reporting interface, you are in control of which variables appear in your final report. After running your demographics report, click the “Customize” button to control which variables are displayed and which variables are excluded from your final output.
Make it easy for your team to see what matters most. Click the "Customize" button and then drag and drop sections to optimize the order of the information for your team's needs.
Created your perfect report template? Save it to make it faster to run in the future! Your preferred report settings can be saved as “default selectors,” which means that all subsequent demographics reports will use those settings. A helpful note: these settings are unique to you and are not shared across your organization’s SCOUT account.
When will I receive the new configurable demographics report feature? All SCOUT users with reporting permissions will receive this new reporting feature as part of our platform release the evening of August 29.
Does the new configurable report reflect all the variables previously included in all old demographics reports? Yes, all variables in the current suite of U.S. demographics reports will be offered in the new configurable demographics report. Please note that some visualizations included in the current reports, such as charts, are not supported in the configurable report at this time.
How do I share the new configurable report? After running a configurable report, you can export your findings as a .CSV or PDF file.
One of the current demographic report options allows users to compare multiple study areas. Will this option be offered in the new configurable demographic report?
The initial version of configurable reporting does not offer the ability to compare multiple geographies in a single report. This feature will be coming soon; contact your Buxton representative if you need additional support. An alternative is to combine the .CSV outputs of multiple reports to make comparisons.
What will happen to the existing standard demographics reports and custom demographics reports? We are replacing the old standard U.S. demographics reporting feature with the new configurable demographics reporting feature. Any standard demographics reports you previously ran will be retained in your report history in their original format. Additionally, you will retain access to any custom demographic reporting features that Buxton created for your organization.
For users with international reporting, will this option be available?
No, this release is only applicable to the U.S. demographic reports.
