Results Grid

The results of a search are displayed in a grid. The results are related to an interval of time, empty intervals are not displayed (i.e. no sales or return transactions occurred during the specified interval).

  • Start Time - this is the start time for each interval

  • Sales Tran Cnt - the number of sales transactions during the interval

  • Sales Revenue - this is the total amount from sales during the interval

  • Ret Tran Cnt - the number of return transactions during the interval

  • Ret Revenue - this is the total amount from returns during the interval

  • Net Revenue - this is Sales Revenue minus Returns Revenue during the interval

  • Total Tran Cnt - this is the number of transactions during the interval

  • % of Net Revenue - this is the percentage of total net income during the interval and may be negative if the amount from returns exceeds the amount from sales

A Summary row is at the bottom of the grid, this shows the totals of all columns except Start Time.
