Filtering Your Reports

3 min read Updated 14 days ago

Filters allow you to narrow down report results to show only the specific data you’re looking for.

For example, you might want to:

  • Show only active members
  • Find members with overdue balances
  • Filter members born before the year 2000
  • View memberships within a certain category

Add Filters to a Report

Start by selecting your report and clicking Edit. This will display all fields currently included in the report.


GymMaster custom report editor

To add a filter:

  • Locate the field heading under Edit Report you want to filter by
  • Use the dropdown Filter menu beside the field
  • Select a filter operator
  • Enter the value you want the field compared against

Some fields require values to be entered in a specific format.
Before adding filters, it can help to first run the report and review the values already appearing in that field. This makes it easier to enter the correct filter value and avoid unexpected results.

Once your filters are configured:

  • Click Save
  • Refresh the Standard Reports list if needed

Your customised report will then be available for future use.


Tip - Before a report we recommend clicking Create Duplicate first.
This keeps your original report untouched and gives you a safe version to customise for specific tasks or staff.


Filter Operators

Filter operators tell GymMaster how to compare the field value against the value you enter.
Available operators depend on the field type, such as:

  • Text
  • Numbers
  • Dates
  • Yes / No fields

For example, date fields and text fields support different comparison options.

All field types include these common operators:

  • IS EMPTY — the field contains no value
  • IS NOT EMPTY — the field contains a value

These are especially useful for identifying incomplete or missing information.
Example: The Membership End Date field will usually be empty for ongoing memberships with no fixed end date.
