Matchforce Task Training (2024)

You may find as you examine reports connected to dashboards that you want to add and edit report fields. At the same time, many agencies will create brand new reports with corresponding dashboards knowing that Matchforce creates a great deal of flexibility within reporting.

When opening reports, it may not always be clear how data is filtered. Examine the filters that have been placed on the reports to better understand what type of data is populated within the report you’re viewing.

When saving reports and dashboards, always save to a folder that you have created and not to the broader folder in Matchforce, so that only your agency sees your list of reports and dashboards.

Dashboards Overview

Things to Know About Dashboards

All Matchforce users have access to dashboards and the accompanying reports.

Every dashboard is created from data in an existing report. The dashboard component is simply a visual representation of a specific report data point. By clicking onat the bottom of each component, you will be directed to the report.

You may create your own dashboards and save them to agency folders for internal agency use.

When dashboards are opened, data may need to be refreshed. At the top of each dashboard, you’ll see the last time the data was refreshed. The more columns and data points exist in the report the dashboard is connected to, the longer the refresh period will be. Keep this in mind as you create your own dashboards.

Clicking will open the dashboard to a larger view and will allow you to scroll through all components on the dashboard.

Clicking allows you to download the image for your own use.

Clicking allows you to post the visual component in chatter.

Accessing the Basic BBBSA Dashboards

To better understand what is captured within these components:

Navigate to the Dashboards tab.

Click on the Program Dashboards folder. (The list below contains each current BBBSA created dashboard – “Created by” for these dashboards equals ‘Traction Admin.’)

Reports Overview

Things to Know About Reports

You have been provided with basic reports to help you access the basic data that your agency utilizes. However, the expectation is that all agencies will edit these reports to meet their own needs as well as create brand new reports to pull more specific types of data.

Accessing the Basic BBBSA Reports – to better understand what is captured within the basic reports, navigate to the reports tab – and click all folders on the left-hand side of the page. Next, click on the National & Local Data folder. Six folders are contained within it and contain different types of data that complements the dashboard data listed above.

When saving reports, always save your edited or created reports to a folder that you have created and not the National & Local Data folders in Matchforce so that only your agency sees your list of reports and dashboards.

National and Local Reports Description

Contacts & Demographics Folder

Moving Forward with Data

As you start moving forward and consider data you may want to review regularly, here are a couple of quick ideas.

Want to understand how your staff is doing with Match Support? Look at your Match Support Dashboards.

For overall numbers, examine these two dashboards combined. One tells you how the team did on their completed MSCs and the other tells you how many matches still have overdue contacts within them.

Completed MSCs – On-Time Rate YTD (On-Time % should be high)
Matches Overdue for Match Support (This number should be low)

Remember: These numbers are consistently changing and are able to be reviewed on a moment-by-moment basis.

Want to know your children served for 2019 or how many matches you’ve made? Take a look at your Match Management Dashboard. You’ll find active match numbers here broken down in several categories.

Want to get a quick snapshot of your early closures? Open the National-Average Match Length dashboard and look at closures by duration.

Need to know more? Open the report connected to the component to see why those matches closed early.

Prepping for QA Reviews? Open your QA Reports folder to see the enrollments and matches that you’ve already QA’ed to help you get a sense of where you need to start.

Need to see your demographic data about Bigs and Littles or a report that tells you about the matches you’ve served this year? Navigate to your Contacts & Demographics Report Folder to see Contact data or to the National Match Reports folder to see Matches – Served Current Year.

Remember: You can add, remove, or rearrange columns in any report based on what you need.

Finding & Utilizing Data

Key Points For Consideration

Reports will not look or act exactly like AIM reports. Within Matchforce, you’ll find that multiple report types and dashboards will often provide data that’s tied to similar data points allowing you to determine which reports are most helpful to you.

BBBSA and the Network will continue to have conversations about what metrics are most significant to track within Matchforce.

If you haven’t already done so, review the resources listed above and in the WalkMe app related to Reports & Dashboards.

ALWAYS SAVE YOUR REPORTS AND DASHBOARDS IN YOUR AGENCY’S PRIVATE FOLDERS.

Before beginning to pull and save reports or dashboards, be sure your Agency Administrator has shared agency-specific folders with you so that you are able to save your Reports & Dashboards to those specific folders and not public folders. (See the WalkMe menu for a walkthrough displaying how to create those folders.)

Remember, BBBSA has provided a sample of reports in the National & Local Data and Program Dashboards folders. However, by clicking you have the freedom to create other reports you may need.

Every report you pull may be edited and saved to meet your specific needs. You are not limited to the content you see in the basic report template. Add columns. Add filters. Group data in a way that is most helpful to you. Do what works best for you. You’re not limited!

Whether you open a dashboard component and click on under the data, or you utilize a report in the National & Local Data folder, every report is created from a report type existing when you click .

For example, the Enrollments with Stage dashboard component was created from the Contacts with Enrollments report type and named Open Enrollments by Stage in the reports folder. As you get more comfortable with these data points, you’ll become more and more comfortable with these report types.

When you click on and select a report type, pay attention to the With and With or Without language. This significantly impacts what data will be pulled into the report. For example, if Matches with YODPs is selected – only matches that have YODP records attached will be pulled into the report. If Matches with or without YODPs is selected, all matches whether they do or don’t have YOPDs will be pulled into the report.

Report suggestions below will not reference the specific Reports & Dashboards already created by BBBSA / Traction and will only reference the specific report types in the area.

Always review Filters when opening reports and remove/modify any that aren’t helpful. Once the report is saved to your folder, your newly set filters will be solidified.

Report Type Suggestions

Please keep in mind that options listed below are a small sample of the reports that you have access to in Matchforce.

Participant (Big, Little, Parent/Guardian) Details

Scenario: Your agency wants to pull reports that give you specific demographic, enrollment, and contact information. You may want to use this data to:

Identify the number of participants in stages
Better understand the make-up of your volunteers and/or children
See contact information for participants across all stages
Parent/Guardian & Little Household Data
Review time taken to complete process steps
