Using the Analytics Dashboard

The analytics dashboard gives a comprehensive overview of your business on Something Different Connect.

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

1. Product name
2. Price
3. Percentage from top five (proportion of the total sales represented by this product)

4. Sales value

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

5. Orders received
