Custom Registration Reports for Recurring Sessions

I’ve run into a similar reporting challenge with recurring sessions. It sounds like the main limitation is that the session attendance report and registration data are being treated as separate datasets, which makes it difficult to get registration questions, attendance status, and minutes attended in one export.

I would check whether the custom report can be built around event registration as the primary dataset, and then add the session attendance fields as secondary information. That should preserve everyone who registered, including people who did not attend, while still allowing you to include the custom registration questions.

If the reporting tool doesn’t support that combination, an API-based report may be the cleanest workaround. You could pull the complete registration list with the custom answers and then match each registrant against the session attendance data using their user/registration ID. That would give you one consolidated report without having to manually delete irrelevant rows each time.

For recurring events, I’d also save the report configuration as a template once it’s working so future events can use the same structure. That could save quite a bit of time during each reporting cycle. Even when managing information for unrelated sites such as myperfecthotel.com.br, having a consistent reporting structure makes recurring data reviews much easier.
