# Program Activities and Participants

Shows program activity and participant counts broken down by program area.

#### Location

This panel appears on the following dashboards:

* [Program Activities and Participants](/analyze/impact-dashboards/program-activities-and-participants.md)

#### Modules Included

* Program Activities
* Program Areas

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Organization records** — This panel bypasses normal record permissions and includes every Program Activity in your organization, not only the ones you can view. The panel displays this note above the chart: **This Report Bypasses Normal Permissions and Includes All Data in the Organization.**

**Non-Applicable Filters**

None. This panel applies every filter offered on the dashboard's filter bar: **Reporting Year**, **Created By**, **Collaborator**, **Contributed by a Collaborator**, **Sites**, **Units**, **Session Date Range**, and **Complete**.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable Program Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. Every active program area in your organization is listed in alphabetical order, and program activities are grouped under each program area they are associated with.
3. For each program area, the panel calculates:
   * **Program Activities** — Number of distinct program activities associated with that area.
   * **Participants** — Sum of the total participants recorded on the demographics of those program activities.
4. The results are displayed as a single combination chart, with program areas along the horizontal axis:
   * **Program Activities** — A column series plotted against the **Program Activities** axis on the right.
   * **Participants** — A line series plotted against the **Participants** axis on the left.
5. The chart's data table lists **Program Area**, **Program Activities**, and **Participants** side by side.

#### Additional Notes

* A program activity can belong to multiple program areas. In this case, the program is counted under each associated area.
