# Indirect Activity Intervention Channels

Shows indirect activity counts and estimated reach grouped by intervention channel.

#### Location

This panel appears on the following dashboards:

* [SNAP-Ed Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/snap-ed-dashboard.md)
* [Extension Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/extension-dashboard.md)

#### Modules Included

* Indirect Activities

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only Indirect Activities the current user has permission to view are included.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

* **Verified** — The Indirect Activity module does not have a verification status field.
* **Session Date Range** — Indirect Activities do not have session occurrences.
* **Primary Curriculum** — Indirect Activities are not tied to a curriculum. This filter is offered in the filter bar on the SNAP-Ed Dashboard, and applying it replaces both charts with a message that the chart cannot be filtered by it.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable Indirect Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. Activity channels are grouped by intervention channel. Each channel is labeled with its short name, which can be an abbreviated form of the full channel name shown on the Indirect Activity record.
3. For each intervention channel, two values are calculated:
   * **Activity Count** — Number of activity channel entries recorded for that intervention channel.
   * **Estimated Reach** — Sum of the estimated reach values for all activity channels using that intervention channel.
4. Two column charts are displayed side by side, each showing only the five highest-ranking channels:
   * **Top Intervention Channels by Activity** — Channels sorted by activity count in descending order, with the number of activities on the y-axis.
   * **Top Intervention Channels by Reach** — Channels sorted by estimated reach in descending order, with the estimated reach sum on the y-axis.

#### Additional Notes

* A single indirect activity can have multiple channels, so the same activity may appear under multiple intervention channel categories.
* Each chart plots only the top five channels. To see every channel that has data, open the chart menu and click **View data table**.
