Quick reports in the Desk
Every list in the Desk has a Report view: a table you can filter, group, total and export. It is the fastest way to answer a one-off question.
To build a report
- Open the list, for example
/app/order. - Switch the view to Report (the view switcher at the top left of the list, next to the list name).
- Add filters, for example Ordered At is within last month, Status =
paid. - Click Group By and pick a field, for example Source. Each group shows a count.
- Use Pick Columns in the settings menu to add the numbers you want, such as Total and Refunded Total. The totals row sums them.
- Click Save As to keep the report under a name. Saved reports appear in the sidebar of the list.
To export, open the menu (⋯) and choose Export. You need the export permission: System Managers and Sales Managers have it, see Roles.
