Using the Insights Dashboard
The Insights Dashboard focuses on 6
critical areas of retail to assist you on making key decisions by
representing data in a graphical & easy to understand format.
We think these 6 metrics are among the most
important metrics that Retailer should be focusing on to import
the profitability of their businesses.
To access the Insights Dashboard, go to Reports -> Insights Dashboard at the top of the main menu screen in Retailer.
