Run a Report
Review the capabilities of our Report Generator to set up the exact reports you want, and if you aren't sure what a metric means, look it up in our Metrics Glossary.
Once you can run a report, you can Save and Share Reports! We recommend automating the reports you know you need regularly so you can focus on more important things. Set it and forget it!

Set Up a Data-Driven Dashboard
Avero dashboards are a fantastic way to put all the at-a-glance info you want to see every day. This could include a rolling trend of category sales, gross sales for yesterday or month-to-date, labor expenses, or up-to-date info on a contest you're running!
