Reports
Salesorder.com comes with a set of 'Standard Reports' that allow you to display and analyse data entered into your system. The reports are divided into a number of distinct categories, reflecting different areas of your business.
Reports can be customized to use a particular date range, show only certain columns, and filter by specified criteria. You can also memorize these custom reports so that you can build a complete set of reports specific to your business.
For convenience all reports can be exported to Micosoft Excel.
All standard reports allow the following:
- Run the standard 'default' Report
- Customize the Report by using filters
- Memorize the Report, along with its associated settings.
- Set the date range and column format where appropriate
