Filter Block

Three filters that control the scope of the entire report.

  1. Current Period

    A dynamic date filter that defines the window you want to analyze. The default is this month to today — for example, all days in March up to today's date.

    Available range options include:

    | Option | Description | | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | This month / today | All days from the 1st of the current month through today | | Yesterday | The previous full day | | In the past… | Rolling window: past N days, weeks, quarters, hours, or minutes | | Hours / Weekdays / Months / Quarters | Granularity options for intra-period views | | Custom | Manually define a start and end date |

  2. Compare Period

    Defines the reference window used for benchmarking. The default is previous month (same date range, one month prior). Options include:

    | Option | Example use case | | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | Previous month | Compare March performance against February | | Previous week | Compare the past 7 days against the prior 7 days | | Previous year | Year-over-year comparison for the same period | | Previous week of previous year | Combine both for cross-year weekly benchmarking |

  3. Channel

    Filter data by sales channel. All three are selected by default:

    | Channel | Description | | --------------- | --------------------------------------- | | Amazon | Amazon marketplace | | DTC | Direct-to-consumer storefront (Shopify) | | TikTok Shop | TikTok social commerce |

KPI Tile Block

Eight metric tiles showing aggregated values for the current period with a % change indicator versus the comparison period.

Reading a KPI tile

Each tile shows the total value for the selected period. Below it, a colored indicator reflects performance versus the comparison period:

  1. Transactional metrics Tiles 1–4

    Sourced from the transactional data source.

    | KPI | Definition | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | Net Revenue | Total net revenue for the current period | | Orders | Total number of orders placed | | Average Order Value | Net Revenue ÷ Orders | | Gross Profit | Revenue minus cost of goods sold |
