Dashboards

Advanced Reports extension allows to place widgets with key metrics to the dashboard of your store. Our versatile widgets will help you to track your sales performance at your fingertips.

There are two dashboards are available from Dashboards menu:

  • Advanced Dashboard (Global) - main dashboard, which configures to show global sale reports.
  • User Dashboard - additional dashboard, which allows to set up reports for the users special requirements.

You can replace native Magento Dashboard menu button with Advanced Dashboard. In this case Advanced Dashboard will be named just Dashboard. Refer to General Settings for more info.

Automatic sending reports to emails is configured at separate Email Notifications for each Dashboard.

Each Dashboard consists of one or more Widgets, as shown on examples below.
