Home Dashboard

Once signed in, Reporter gives you full access to the Retail POS Home Dashboard, which correlates core retail metrics into charts that display day-to-day data to track sales.

These can be filtered by Today, This Week and This Month time periods using the hover bar. Here you can also filter by outlet, with the default set to All Outlets.

The default display is made up of My Sales Performance, Gross Profit and Top Products Sold metrics. More can be added and removed by taping the Show More Retail Metrics button.

Here you can add displays for Revenue, Sales with Customer, Sale Count, Average Sale Value Average Items per Sale, Discounted, and Top Sales People.

Each of these metrics is calculated from a specific report in Retail POS. You can tap View Report on each metric display to be taken to the full report for more comprehensive data.

To learn more about each metric and how to make the most of these, refer to our Advanced Retail Metrics on the Home Dashboard article.
