# Partner Assistance & Relationship

Shows partners by depth of relationship and the assistance provided to them.

#### 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)

It sits in the **Partners and Contacts** group, beside the legacy [Partnership and Coalition Assistance and Relationship (Legacy)](/analyze/impact-dashboards/panels/partnership-and-coalition-assistance-and-relationship.md) panel.

#### Modules Included

* Partners
* Partner Reports
* Community Relationships (CRM)

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only partners the current user can see in the Partners list are included.
* **Reporting Year**, **Program Areas**, **Unit** — Applied through the partner's reports.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

* **Collaborators** — Partners have no collaborators; record sharing grants replaced them.
* **Verified**, **Interventions**, **Projects**, **Primary Curriculum**, **Session Date Range** — Not applicable to partner records.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable partners matching the current dashboard filters.
2. Two charts are generated:
   * **Assistance Provided** — Counts the interactions logged against each partner by assistance type.
   * **Depth of Relationship** — Each partner is placed by the depth recorded on its **most recent** report.

#### Additional Notes

* Depth of relationship lives on the [Partner Report](/reflect/partner-reports.md), not the partner, because a relationship deepens over time. Reading only the most recent report keeps the bars summing to the partner total instead of counting a partner once per depth it has ever held.
* Assistance is now recorded as an interaction type rather than a field on the record, so this chart counts interactions. There is no "assistance received" direction in the new model, which is why this is a single chart rather than the legacy panel's mirrored received/provided pair.
