CA reporting tools

You can build default reports in Commerce Assistant (CA), which provides over 250 comprehensive real-time reports. These include reports on the following:

  • Revenue
  • Orders
  • Licenses
  • Products
  • Regions
  • Payment options

Default reporting uses pre-configured reporting templates that are organized in a folder structure. For every template, you can customize the results to create reports that suit your needs best and bookmark these configurations for future use.

You can view the reports interchangeably in bar, line, and table formats, and export them into PowerPoint, Word, Excel, or PDF with one click.

You control which users have access to which reports with the reporting tool advanced rights management system.

  3. To access specific reports, click the arrows to expand and collapse the individual folders.

Reports display automatically when first opened. If you change the options in the drop-down lists, click Refresh to view the updated report.

You can switch the report type in the report directory structure or in the drop-down lists at the top of the worksheet. Additionally, you can manage your reports:

About quick stats​

tip

You can retrieve quick stats by email. To set up this feature, contact Client Experience.

Quick Stats provides and overview of net revenue and the number of orders by month, week, and day. It compares the numbers from the previous time frame with the current time frame, and the percentage column displays the difference. The comparison with the previous month data is based on the first day of the previous month up to the equivalent number of days from the current month. One exception is the Last Month total, which displays the value for the entire previous month.

Example

Today is January 10th. The comparison data from the previous month is December 1st-10th.

You can:

  • update the data in real-time by clicking the Refresh button.
  • use the data outside CA by clicking Copy to Clipboard.
