View search results in reports
Open a narrowed GovTribe award search in reports so you can turn matching records into charts, totals, trends, and rollups.
Open a supported GovTribe award search page and click View In Reports.
Funding Analysis and Vehicle Analysis reports are available on Launch, Launch Plus, Growth, Growth Plus, and Scale.
Use View In Reports when a search result set is easier to understand as a chart, table, trend, or funding rollup than as a list of individual records.
Why use View In Reports
Search pages are best for finding and reviewing individual awards. Reports are best for answering summary questions about the same market, buyer, vendor set, category, program, or vehicle.
Use View In Reports after you narrow a supported award search and want to quickly see:
- How much funding is represented by the result set.
- Which agencies, awardees, categories, places, vehicles, or grant programs account for the largest share.
- Whether funding is concentrated in a few areas or spread across many.
- How award volume or obligated dollars change over time.
- Which report view is worth sharing with leadership, capture, business development, or proposal teammates.

How GovTribe uses your search
When you click View In Reports, GovTribe creates a temporary report search from the current award search. In practical terms, GovTribe carries over the search text and compatible filters, then opens the report view with a searchId in the URL so the report can load that same narrowed context.
Reports are built from award and transaction data, so GovTribe also translates common award filters into report-friendly filters when it can. For example, filters for awardees, agencies, NAICS categories, and PSC categories can still help define the transaction activity shown in the report.
The search page sort is not carried into reports. Reports have their own grouping, date, chart, and table controls because they are summarizing the result set rather than ranking individual search-result cards.
Useful ways to use it
- Size a market quickly. Search for a capability, agency, NAICS category, PSC category, vendor group, or vehicle, then open the treemap to see where the obligated dollars are concentrated.
- Compare buyers or recipients. Narrow an award search around a mission area, then split the report by agency, awardee, place, category, or grant program.
- Prepare a leadership summary. Use Funding Analysis when you need a quick visual for where money is going before building a more detailed export or briefing.
- Find concentration risk. Use the treemap or table to see whether a market is dominated by a few awardees, categories, programs, or vehicles.
- Understand timing. Use the stream graph, Funding report, or Awards report when you need to explain how activity has changed across the selected reporting window.
- Move from summary to records. Use report row actions, when available, to return from a rollup to the related awards behind that row.
Limits to know
Date and value filters are handled differently in reports
Search-page date filters and dollar or value filters are removed before GovTribe opens the report search. Set the report's own Date control after opening the report, and use report totals or table rows to review funding values.
Some search filters work on award records but do not map cleanly to the transaction data used by reports. When GovTribe removes a filter, the report page can show an Incompatible Filters Removed warning with the removed filter names.
That warning does not mean the report failed. It means the report is using the compatible parts of the search context and leaving out filters that cannot be applied safely in that report view.
Keep these limits in mind:
- Supported pages: View In Reports is available on Federal Contract Awards, Federal Contract IDV Awards, and Federal Grant Awards.
- Date windows: Use the report's Date control for reporting periods such as Last Year, Last 5 Years, or fiscal-year ranges.
- Dollar and value filters: Search-page dollar filters are removed because reports calculate funding totals from report data.
- Sort order: Search-page sort does not carry into reports.
- Report availability: Some top-report options apply only to the matching award family, such as federal contract vehicle reports for contract award activity or Top FGPs for grant award activity.
