The report allows you to filter the output by various dates - there are options for '''Date Applied''', '''Date Awarded''', '''Date Ended''' and '''Date Notified'''. These correspond to date fields on the "benefits" section of [[Benefits and Income]].
 
 
 
If a date range is entered in these search fields, any records with blank dates will be excluded from the results (however, as is usual with Charitylog reports, if you leave all fields blank, the report will return all results with no filtering - even those with blank dates).

The benefits report displays details of the benefits entered on the Referral Closure and Outcome Details screen or the Benefits and Income link at the bottom of a persons record.

When specifying dates the report will return results that match the criteria. If you use more than one set of dates then the data entered must match both date ranges. If the date field is blank on the recorded benefit then this will not be displayed on the report if dates have been specified in the search criteria. For branch systems select the branch tab to select which branches to report on.
