# How to Run a Report

## Pick a report, choose your options, and get a spreadsheet. No computer experience needed.

**What is in the Reports tab?**

Standard reports have been **built for you, such as facility roster or daily census**. Simply pick the report that meets your needs, select data criteria from the available Filters options, and click Run/Submit Report or Download. Olari then generates the report. 

**Who can do this:** Administrator, Full No Admin, Full No Billing, and Read Only No Billing. (Detox Monitor and General User roles do not have the Reports area.)

**How to run a report**

1. **Log in** to the Olari Portal using your assigned Link (URL) and credentials.
2. Go to the **Reports** tab on the menu bar at the top of the screen. From the dropdown menu, select **Run Reports.**
3. Under **Report Name** click the dropdown menu (located on the left above the Filters grid) and select the report you want to run.
4. Review the **Filters grid**: Filter options will remain greyed out until a report requiring filters is selected. Once active, choose the appropriate criteria (such as Program, County, etc.). Some fields include a **“Select All”** option.
5. Click one of the following: **Run/Submit Report** (generates the report in the system) or **Download** (downloads directly to your device)
6. A notification will appear when your report is ready. 
     - **If you selected “Download”:** The report will be saved to your computer’s **Downloads** folder.
     - **If you selected “Run/Submit Report”:** Go to the **Report Downloads** tab. Monitor the status of your report. Once the status shows **Completed**, click the report title to open it
     - Open the downloaded or generated file to review your report. From there, you can **save, print, or share** it as needed.

**✓ Good to know:** A number of standard reports are ready-made. You do not have to build them— just choose your options and click Run.

**💡 Tip:** Filters, if field becomes available after selecting report, you are required to select from drop-down options

**The choices you might see**

*Different reports offer different choices. You may see some of these, all of them, or none — it depends on the report.*

| **Filter choice** | **What it does** |
| --- | --- |
| **Date** | Limit the report to a specific date, month, or date range |
| **Program** | Limit the report to one or more of your programs (for example, “Detox – Mens”) or Select All. |
| **Gender** | Limit the report to clients of a chosen gender or Select All |
| **Facility Setting** | Limit the report to a chosen facility or Select All |
| **Payor** | Limit the report to clients with a chosen payor or Select All. |
| **County** | Limits the report to clients from a chosen county or Select All. |

**Where your report goes**

When the report finishes, it downloads as a spreadsheet file (an Excel file). Look at the top/bottom of your web browser or in your computer’s “Downloads” folder. Double-click the file to open it.

**If something goes wrong**

If you encounter problems while running a report, try the following:

**1. “Reports” option is missing from the menu bar**   
 Your user role may not have access to reports. Please contact your supervisor or the Olari administrator for assistance.

**2. Nothing downloads after clicking “Run”**   
 Your browser may have blocked the download. Look for a notification banner or pop-up message (usually at the top or bottom of your screen) and follow the prompts to allow the download. Then try clicking **Run** again.

**3. The report is empty**   
 Your selected filters may be too restrictive. Adjust your filter selections and run the report again.

**4. The report is taking a long time to generate**   
 Large reports can take longer to process.

- Wait a moment and check the **Report Downloads** tab for status updates. 
    - If the status shows **Pending** for more than five minutes contact support at [**support@olari.com**](mailto:support@olari.com) for assistance.
- If it is a **Download only report**, and it does not appear in your computer Downloads folder, verify that your browser is not blocking downloads (reference point 2 above). 
    - If everything looks correct, try clicking **Run** again.
