So What Does the Sales Dashboard Do?

First, you’ll see your data displayed into three main category tabs. Within each category tab, you can continue to review and break down the category to view a specific sale, product or customer data right down to the transaction history report. The 3 main categories:
- A Sales Summary – offers a sales overview with six new mini-views.
- A Sales by Product – provides users with an overview of their Inventory Sales.
- A Sales by Customer – gives a user the ability to see an overview of how their sales are doing by customer.
A Sales Summary
This tab gives you a quick view of your overall business sales, showing the total sales revenue for the time period that you choose.
In the main sales summary chart, users can drill down up to 3 levels to examine more closely a specific category:
- Level 1 – Presents the broadest view of your actual sales revenue.
- Level 2 –This level, using a bar chart, illustrates your sales revenue broken down by Salesperson Code.
- Level 3 – Brings up the Sales History Report for that Salesperson.
Mini-Views
Mini-views allow you to view your data by product, department, salesperson, location, vendor and a sales comparison to quota, quickly. The six new mini-views:
- The first mini-chart uses 3 gauges as the visual for a sales comparison view that tracks your sales against your projected quota per day, week, month, quarter, or year.
- The remaining 5 mini-charts display the “Top Sales” by:
- Product
- Department
