Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Signups

Data & reporting
1

:memo: These queries give a breakdown of how many new user accounts have been created within the timeframe, excluding staged and non-activated accounts. The totals are broken down by number of signups each week/month/year, a running total for the time period selected, and a total number to date which includes all previous signups.

NB: If a user is deleted their records no longer appear in the database and will therefore no longer be included in the query results. This can lead to variations when comparing recent runs against previous ones.

Hi, apologies for being so obtuse about how this works, but what does one of these examples look like when the dates are filled in?

I’m not sure what you mean? There’s an example of the results underneath each, if that’s what you’re looking for?

Understood.

Here’s what I’m trying to ask: Where in the code itself do I put my start and end date, and in what format do I write it?

You don’t, as it should add input boxes above the button to run the query (if not, refresh after saving and they’ll show up), then

I think it’ll just give you a date picker.

Ah, yes. There’s a known issue where the parameter input boxes don’t show up the first time until after a page refresh.

It’s not quite swish enough yet to have a date picker (though here’s hoping :slight_smile: :crossed_fingers:), but I think it’s quite forgiving on format. I use the UK date format (eg 21/01/2024) when I’m using it myself, but when I share screenshot examples I try and stick to eg 2024-01-21 as it’s more universal.

Got it now. Thanks. Needed the page refresh.
