Insights is the data analytics solution for GrowFlow Retail. The Insights report is optimized to deliver reporting for complex datasets and large date ranges quickly and efficiently.
Using Insights
Navigation
On the left of the screen, we have the Navigation Sidebar, which is used to navigate to various sections of Insights and allows you to select which store(s) data to view. For retailers with multiple stores, you will have the option to select one, multiple, or all retail stores in your organization.
Note: Some reports, such as the Multiple Store Sales and Multiple Store Inventory reports automatically include data for all stores, and are not impacted by this setting.
Sales reports and Inventory reports are nested under the Sales and Inventory sections. Please click on the section name to open the drop-down menu and reveal the available reports.
To change the license(s) being viewed, click on All Licenses and select the license or licenses that you would like included in the report.
Filters
Various filters are available at the top of the page when viewing reports in Insights. Some reports will have more filter options than others.
To modify a filter, select a filter, and then select from the available options.
More than one filter can be applied to a report.
When finished, press the Reload button at the top right for the filters to take effect.
The Insight report includes a data cache, so if you run the same report (same time period, filters) again, the reporting completes more quickly.
After applying or changing filters, make sure to click the Reload button to update the report.
If the filters that were selected are incorrect, you can use the kebab menu at the top right to open a drop-down menu, where you can Reset Filters.
