  Sample Catapult Reports


Catapult Data Services creates a wide variety of reports that give you the most accurate information from your data. On this page you will find several sample reports along with a short description of each report. Click here for a printable version of the report descriptions in Adobe PDF format.


Summary Report

This one page report summarizes the counts throughout the entire job process on a list-by-list basis. Each list is on its own row and each column counts the records purged for the various reasons. This report also lists the keycodes for each list and details any splits that may have happened for testing purposes. This is called a summary report because all the counts listed can also be found elsewhere in the report booklet, however this one page summary makes quick work of the details. This report can also serve as a "List Broker Report" that would count purged records that result from DMA Preference hits, Intra-list dupes and even "Bad Address" records.

Executive Summary
This report summarizes all of the above reports. Most lines are self-explanatory, but a couple of comments are warranted. The Input Posting/Purging section is not applicable to Catapult Data Services merge/purges; separate output lists are generated rather than posting to and purging original lists. Group Posted Records are records that are updated with data from duplicates; this feature is rarely used.
