Field or Control

Description

Amount

Displays the amount of sales for new or existing customers. Amounts appear in hundreds, thousands, millions, and so on, depending on the size of the smallest amount.

Timeframe

Displays the number of days of sales included in the amount.

The system uses this criteria to determine which sales to include in the amount in the bar graph and how to calculate the amount:

  • A customer is considered new if the date the customer was added to the system is greater than the cutoff date entered on the New and Existing Customers Personalization page.

  • A customer is considered existing if the date the customer was added to the system is less than the cutoff date entered on the New and Existing Customers Personalization page.

  • The system calculates sales by adding the entry amounts in the Item Activity table (PS_ITEM_ACTIVITY) for all entry types that make up the customer history ID of SALES.

Use the New and Existing Customers Personalization page (AR_PE_SALES_PRS) to define default display information for the Sales New/Existing Customers pagelet.

Navigation:

Click the Customize Sales New/Existing Customers icon on the Sales New/Existing Customers pagelet.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the New and Existing Customers Personalization page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
