Advanced Reports 2.0 for Magento 2


New Sales Detailed Report


Possibly the biggest enhancement provided by the current update is the new Sales Detailed Report. The report intends to reveal all significant aspects of sales in one grid, including product names and SKUs, multiple customer and order attributes, versatile totals and so on. Altogether the Sales Detailed grid may contain 30+ columns available for filtering and sorting. Magento admins are able to customize the view of the grid with the columns they need and disable unnecessary sales attributes.

This report may contain either all orders or the orders without refunded items. The last option is more accurate in terms of the net cash flow, but if you need to determine the whole sales volume, you should switch on the Include Refunded Items radio button in the Report Settings section.

The Sales Detailed Report is especially useful for data mining as far as it allows you to find links and discover hidden relations between any aspects of sales even if they seem to be free of any dependence.


New Grids


Customizable Layout
With this update all report grids become more user-friendly and provide significantly more opportunities for data analysis. Now you can drag and drop columns of any grid in order to make it perfectly suitable for your needs. You can also sort and filter available data and look for any information easier and much faster.

Filtering by Data Ranges
All the multi-valued parameters of grids can be narrowed down precisely using the ‘from-to’ filters able to select only required data ranges out of the entire data set. Additionally, you can apply several data range filters to the same grid simultaneously and, this way, pin-point the target data.
