# Indirect Channel Summary

Summarizes indirect activity reach and channel counts grouped by intervention channel.

#### Location

This panel appears on the following dashboards:

* [User Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/user-dashboard.md)

#### Modules Included

* Indirect Activities

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only Indirect Activities the current user has permission to view are included.
* Every filter on the User Dashboard filter bar — **Reporting Year**, **Program Areas**, **Created By**, **Collaborator**, **Contributed by a Collaborator**, **Units**, **Action Plans**, and **Complete** — narrows the Indirect Activities this panel counts.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

* **Verified** — Indirect Activities can be marked as verified, but this panel does not filter by verification status.
* **Session Date Range** — Indirect Activities do not have session occurrences.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable Indirect Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. Activity channels are grouped by their intervention channel name.
3. For each intervention channel, two values are calculated:
   * **Channel Count** — Number of activity channel entries recorded for that intervention channel.
   * **Total Reach** — Sum of the estimated reach values for those activity channels.
4. Both values are plotted on a single combination chart, with intervention channels ordered by total reach in descending order. **Total Reach** is drawn as columns against the **Total Reach** axis on the right, and **Channel Count** is drawn as a line against the **Count of Interventions** axis on the left.

#### Additional Notes

* This panel provides a similar view to the [Indirect Activity Intervention Channels](/analyze/impact-dashboards/panels/indirect-activity-intervention-channels.md) panel but is used on the User Dashboard to show individual user activity.
* A single indirect activity can have more than one channel, so it can contribute to more than one intervention channel.
