  • Results - Crosstab View: Query results are delivered with a summary of the full query results spread out across two selected variables.
  • Results - Map View: Query results are delivered geographically within a map that displays population densities down to individual constituents.

Using Targeter

To open Targeter, click on the Targeter layer at the top of the Reeher Platform window.

You can select any saved or default query from the Select Query pull down menu at the top left of the screen.

  • To search for a specific constituent, you can use the Entity Lookup from the menu.  Enter the Entity ID, First, and/or Last Name of the entity you are looking for.  Hit Show Results, and a list of constituents who match your search will appear below.
  • To begin with a blank query, select Create New Query from the pull down.  You can then Add Filters to begin your query by clicking on the Add Filters button on the right.  Once the parameters of your filters are set, click Show Results, and a list of constituents who match your search will appear below.

You can view the results of your query in two ways.

  • In List View, where you can view and export your results as a list with customizable columns.
  • Or in Crosstab View, where you can spread your results in a table across two variables.

You can toggle between these two views by using the tabs at the top right of the Results section.

  • Subscriptions: Schedule the delivery of the results of a query to email you on a regular basis.
