Order Manager Dashboard

The dashboard gives staff a quick operational view of store activity. It combines a date-filtered sales graph, recent orders, summary totals, and an optional custom report.

Order Manager dashboard showing the date controls, sales graph, recent orders, and totals.

Report selector

The Report selector controls the report shown beneath the dashboard graph. The built-in Order Totals view is always available. Templates configured as custom reports under Settings also appear here.

Select a report and choose Refresh to render it. A custom report is parsed as an ExpressionEngine template in the control panel; it does not automatically inherit the dashboard’s filters unless its tags use equivalent criteria.

Date controls

Use Select Date Range for a preset:

  • Last 30 Days
  • Last 3 Months
  • Last 6 Months
  • Last Year

The Date Start and Date Finish fields display the active range and can be used for a custom range. Applying a new range recalculates the graph and dashboard totals.

Sales graph

The stacked graph separates:

  • subtotal;
  • tax; and
  • shipping.

Graph points support progressively narrower drill-downs. A month can open its daily activity, a day can open hourly activity, and the most specific order point can open that order’s detail page.

The graph reflects saved order data. It is not a payment-gateway settlement report and should not be used by itself for processor reconciliation.

Recent orders

The recent-orders table shows the order, total, status, customer, and time. Selecting an order opens its Order detail page.

Summary totals

The totals table includes current-period and all-time values such as:

  • today’s, this month’s, this year’s, and all sales;
  • average sale;
  • today’s, this month’s, this year’s, and all order counts; and
  • total customers.

The current-period values follow the dashboard’s selected date range where applicable.
