9 Operational Insights Reports

Sales Audit Operational Insights reports can be divided into the Dashboard Reports and in-context BI Reports. These reports are embedded within the Sales Audit application.

This chapter contains the following reports:

Dashboard Reports

The dashboard surfaces information in a manner that will help users - sales auditors - prioritize their day-to-day activities as well as quickly identify areas of concern. The dashboard allows a user to look at a consolidated view of their 'to-dos' and then directly and contextually launch into the corresponding windows to take an action. The Dashboard Reports show data across assigned stores that is the stores assigned to the logged in user.

Through the dashboard, you can, at a glance, identify store days that are still open due to errors or late polling by stores and can resolve or escalate the issues.

A view of all open transactional errors across your stores for up to the last fourteen days is available that helps you see error patterns and helps estimate your workload in fixing them. You can then start fixing the errors by launching the respective windows directly from the links provided in the dashboard reports.

The over short summary report helps you in the important function of tracking the overages or shortages at your stores and identifying fraudulent behavior.

The dashboard reports can be viewed by navigating to Reports menu > ReSA Dashboard.
