DisclaimerAlthough Grif-WebI can perform many functions and provide high-level output, Please be aware that you may still
be required to do manual analysis of data in an external application such as Microsoft Excel.
LYBUNTS/SYBUNTSGrif-WebI provides several pre-built filters throughout the various classes. Included in these filters are those for
finding LYBUNTS and SYBUNTS, both University wide and by division and by annual fund or not. Reports can be
made to show only those that are LYBUNTS/ SYBUNTS or display an indicator on any report that specifies
whether or not an entity is a LYBUNT/SYBUNT. The University Wide Conditions and By Division Conditions
classes provide the pre-built filters to show only those entities that are LYBUNTS/SYBUNTS (as selected in the
query). The University Wide Indicators and By Division Indicators classes provide the dimensions for
displaying on any entity report whether the entity is or is not (Y or N) a LYBUNT/SYBUNT (as selected for
display).
Aggregate AmountsAggregate amounts are measures that provide totals for giving transactions. When using the aggregate amounts, you
must be sure not to report on totals for credit amount as these include duplicate values. Reporting should be based on
legal giving amounts. For example, you can view the total credit and legal amounts attributed to each record type.
Current CalendarThe current calendar class is best used when a specific date range type is needed for a query. For example, you are
creating a report that you will run each month that searches for all gifts made since the beginning of the current
month. Rather than typing the date in and changing it each month, you can select the Begin Current Monthdimension.

Combined QueriesThe following is an example where you would choose a combined query:
You need to retrieve data for Entities who have a Degree from Booth and who have a Degree from the Law School,
you combine the following two queries:
Query 1: [Degree School Desc] Equal to Business, Graduate School of
Intersection
Query 2: [Degree School Desc] Equal to Law School
Creating a combined query
1. Create the first Grif-WebI query.
Note: You cannot use a pre-built query filter when using combined queries.
2. Click on the Add a combined query button.
Note: A new frame will display that will show the additional query under the classes on the left and the Query Filters will be
blank. The new query will be highlighted and displayed in the right side of the window. This will be noted by the title Combined
Query 2.
Note: The same results objects selected in the first query will automatically be added to the Results Objects of the new query. You
must include the same number of results objects on each query. It is recommended that the exact same results objects are used on
each query.
Note: You cannot use the query filter as a result object if you are doing an Intersection and it is a one per line field.
3. Add the desired filter(s) to the next query.
4. If necessary, double-click the Union, Intersection, or Minus operator to change it to another operator.
Intersection
This is used to combine results which appear in query 1 AND query 2.
Union
This is used to combine results which appear in query 1 OR query 2.
Minus
This is used to combine results which appear in query 1 NOT query 2.
This table explains the difference between the Union, Intersectand theMinusoperators:
For example Select
Entities that have a Degree from Booth ora Degree from the Law School Union
Entities that have a Degree from Booth anda Degree from the Law School Intersection
Entities that have a Degree from Booth, but nota Degree from the Law School Minus5. If needed, you may add additional combined queries by repeating steps 2-4.
Deleting a combined query
1. Click on the combined query you want to delete.
Note: The actively selected combined query will be highlighted in a darker color than the remaining combined queries.
2. Press the Delete button on your keyboard.
3. Click on Yes to delete the specified combined query.

Sub-queriesSub-queries are used where the results of the main query are dependent upon the results of the inner query. This
means the inner query must be processed first so the result set can me passed onto the main query.
Sub-queries are typically used when the filter for the report involves a value that will change over time.
Sub-queries allow you to pose complex questions that are difficult or impossible to formulate with simple query
filters. For example: You want to view the amount of a gift along with the allocation information and attributed
donors for gifts where the associated donor type is In Memory Of a specific entity ID.
Building a sub-query
1. Add the objects that you want to appear in the query to the Result Objects pane.
2. Select the object in the Result Objects pane that you want to filter with a subquery and click Add asubquery at the top right of the Query Filters pane.
Note: The subquery outline appears in the Query Filters pane. By default the object you selected appears as the Filter object
and Filter By object.
3. To add a WHERE condition to the subquery, drag a report object to the area of the subquery below theDrop an object here boxes.
Note: You can use an existing subquery or standard query filter as a WHERE condition in a subquery. To do so, drag and
drop the existing filter or subquery to the area of the subquery below the Drop an object here boxes. To copy rather than
move the existing filter to the WHERE condition, hold down the Control key while dragging and dropping. In this case the
existing filter remains in its initial place and becomes part of the WHERE condition of the subquery.
4. Select the operator and values used to filter the object in the WHERE condition.
5. Click Sub-query to add an additional sub-query to the query filter.
Note: In addition to linking sub-queries in AND or OR relationships, you can nest them (create subqueries within
subqueries) by dragging an existing sub-query to the area beneath the Drop an object here boxes. In this case the inner sub-
query becomes part of the WHERE condition of the outer subquery. To copy rather than move the sub-query to the WHERE
condition, hold down the Control key while dragging and dropping. In this case the second sub-query remains at the same
level as the first, and becomes part of the WHERE clause of the first.
6. By default the two subqueries are linked in an AND relationship. Click the AND operator to toggle
between AND and OR.7. To nest a sub-query (create a sub-query within a sub-query), drag an existing sub-query to the area beneath
the Drop an object here boxes.
8. To copy rather than move the subquery to the WHERE condition, hold down the Control key whiledragging and dropping. In this case the second subquery remains at the same level as the first, and becomes
part of the WHERE clause of the first.
Note: The inner sub-query becomes part of the WHERE condition of the outer sub-query.

Types of Table ViewsThere are four types of tables you can use to view the results of your query in.
Vertical default view Horizontal
Crosstab
Form
Vertical
Vertical tables display header cells at the top of the table and the corresponding data in columns. By default, the
header cells display the names of the dimensions and measures included in the table. The body cells display the
corresponding values.
Horizontal
Horizontal tables display header cells at the left of the table and the corresponding data in rows. By default, the
header cells display the names of the dimensions, details, and measures included in the table. The body cells display
the corresponding values.
Crosstab
Crosstabs display values for dimensions across the top axis and on the left axis. The body displays the values of a
measure that correspond to the cross-section of the dimensions. For example, this crosstab displays values for the
year of FY credit across the top axis and displays values for entity name on the left axis. The body displays giving
total for each year by each entity.
Form
Forms are useful in your report if you want to display detailed information per customer, product, or partner. Forexample, a form is a useful way of displaying individual entity records with information such as the entity ID, name,
record type, degree, and so on.

Creating, Modifying, and Removing AlertersYou create alerters by specifying conditions that change the format of values displayed on a report, if those values
fall above, below, or within a range. If a document already contains alerters, you can edit the condition or formattingof those alerters. You can also duplicate an existing alerter, rename the duplicate, and then edit the duplicate instead
of creating a new alerter from scratch. You can apply or remove alerters from tables, cells, or reports at any time.
For example if you want to highlight all cells that contain the record type of Trustee, you could create an alerter.
Creating an alerter
1. Click on the column you want to apply the alerter to.
2. Click on the Alerters button on the reporting toolbar.
3. Click on New.
4. Type a name for the alerter in the text box next to Alerter name.

Breaks versus sectionsA section breaks up the data into multiple free-standing cells called section headers. Each section header contains
one value for a dimension, with a block of data that corresponds to the dimension value.
Section
A break divides the data up within one block. One column contains the values for a dimension, detail, or measure,
which are repeated for each other row of values in the block.

Creating Charts and Graphs
Chart Types
Bar charts
Bar charts display data in bar form, either vertically or horizontally. Bar charts are useful if you want to compare
similar groups of data; for example one time period to another. There are five types of bar charts:
grouped
bar and line
stacked
percent
3D
Line charts
Line charts connect specific data values with lines, either horizontally or vertically. Line charts are useful if you
want to show trends or changes in data over time. There are five types of line charts: mixed
stacked
percent
3D
3D surface
Area charts
Area charts are line charts in which the area between the lines and axis are filled in. Area charts are useful if you
want to emphasize the size of the total data in a report, as opposed to the changes in the data. You may not want to
use an area chart if you have a sharp contrast between specific data points. Use a line chart instead.
You can use more than one measure object on the Y-axis as long as the measures are of the same type and scale; for
example, legal credit and recognition credit. There are five types of area charts:
absolute
stacked
percent
3D area
3D surface
Pie charts
Pie charts display data as segments of a whole. Pie charts are useful if you want to show how each part of your
report data contributes to the total.
Pie charts have a single axis displayed on the body of the pie. This is the Y-Axis. Each segment of the pie chart
displays a value for the measure on the Y-Axis. The pie chart legend indicates the dimension on the X-Axis.
You can only include one measure object in a pie chart. If you have several measures in your report, you should

Radar, polar and scatter charts
In radar charts, the X- and Y-axis connect at the charts center. Radar charts are useful if you want to look at several
different factors related to one item. For example, you could use a radar chart to display giving amounts for each
department in a division. On one axis, you could display revenue for the rooms. On another you could display
revenue for the restaurant, and so on.
Scatter charts are similar to line graphs, except that the data points are plotted without a line connecting them.
Scatter charts are useful if you want to make a comparison between specific data points.
There are four types of radar, polar, and scatter charts:
radar line
stacked radar
polar
scatter
3D charts
2D charts
