Viewing order analytics
You can get an at-a-glance understanding of your orders, including volume, flow, and fulfillment, on the Orders page with the orders analytics bar. The analytics bar, which appears at the top of your orders page, provides metrics for the selected time period with comparison data to help you see how things have changed.
The analytics bar displays the order metrics for the time period that you select. Each metric includes an indication of whether the metric increased, decreased, or remained the same as compared to the equivalent preceding time period. For example, if you select to view the last 7 or 30 days, then it will be compared to the previous 7 or 30 days. If you select to view today, then it will be compared to the daily average of the metric over the last 7 days. For more detailed information about your orders, you can access the orders analytics reports by clicking any of the metrics in the order analytics bar.
