Using the dashboard

The analytics dashboard summarises key information about orders, invoices and returns.

If you open this page before you have configured SD Connect, then you will see a blank dashboard. Similarly, an incorrectly-set filter may result in no results being shown.

The different categories are summarised at the top of the page, and contain the following information:

1. Sales

• Inventory: the number of items sold from the inventory in the selected period
• Sales value: the total value of sales processed in the period selected
• Average shipping cost: the average cost of shipping per order

2. Orders

• Open: the number of orders received during the selected period which have not yet been dispatched
• Pending: the paid orders awaiting dispatch that were received in the selected period
• Processed: the number of orders marked as dispatched in the selected period

3. Top five products sold

• Product name
• Price
• Percentage from top five (proportion of the total sales represented by this product)

4. Sales value

• Daily sales value (on the vertical axis): shows the total value of all sales on a given date
• Date (on the horizontal axis)

5. Orders received

• Total orders (on the vertical axis): the total number of orders received on a given date
• Date (on the horizontal axis)

6. Top five best-selling products

• The five best-selling products from your inventory during the selected period and their proportion of the total sales by product.
