Sales & Analytics tab

The Sales & Analytics tab is the first thing you see when you sign in to admin (it's the default landing tab). It's where you'll spend most of your time as an operator: checking revenue, watching the print supply, and exporting transactions.

Who this is for: Every operator who runs the booth in production.

What this tab is for

• See how much money the booth has made today / this week / this month / this year
• See how many transactions and copies were sold, broken down by product
• See which templates are the most popular
• Watch the print supply (prints remaining on the current roll)
• See the current credit balance and payment method mix
• Export transaction history as a CSV file for accounting

Layout

The Sales & Analytics tab is dense. Top to bottom you'll see:

1. Page header with the title "Sales & Analytics" and a subtitle
2. Date range filter with quick buttons (Today / 7d / 30d / 90d / YTD)
3. Headline stat cards showing the totals for the selected period
4. Print supply card with the prints-remaining bar
5. Charts for revenue trend and product breakdown
6. Popular templates report
7. Transaction history table with pagination and CSV export

Date range filter

The filter buttons let you change the period that all the stats and charts are calculated over. Tap any of:

• Today. Midnight today through now
• 7d. The last 7 days
• 30d. The last 30 days
• 90d. The last 90 days
• YTD. January 1 of the current year through now

The active filter is highlighted. The headline stats, charts, popular templates, and transaction history all update when you change the filter.

Headline stats

A row of summary cards shows the totals for the selected period. Typical cards include:

• Total Revenue. Money taken in over the period (sum of all completed transactions)
• Transactions. Number of completed customer sessions
• Total Copies. Total prints produced (a session that bought 3 copies counts as 3)
• Average Order. Total revenue ÷ transactions

These are the numbers you'll quote to your accountant or your venue manager.

Print supply card

A separate card shows how many prints you have left on the current paper roll:

• A horizontal progress bar. Fills as the roll is consumed
• A percentage of remaining capacity
• The prints-remaining number (calculated from the printer's reported state)

A standard DNP roll yields about 700 4×6 prints or 1400 2×6 strips. The booth tracks this in real time so you don't run out mid-event.

When the bar gets to about 10-15%, plan to change the roll. See Maintenance › Changing the print roll (coming soon).

Charts

Revenue trend

A line chart showing revenue over the selected period. For shorter periods (Today, 7d) it's bucketed by hour or day; for longer periods it's bucketed by day or week.

Use this to spot:

• Peak hours / days
• Sudden drops (could indicate an outage)
• Steady growth or decline over time

Product breakdown

A bar or pie chart showing how revenue splits across:

• Photo Strips
• 4×6 Prints
• Smartphone Print (if enabled)

This tells you which product line is making you the most money, which feeds back into how you price each one (see Running Your Booth › Pricing strategy (coming soon)).

Payment method mix

A breakdown of cash vs card transactions. Useful when you're deciding whether to add or remove payment hardware.

Popular templates

A table or chart showing which templates customers picked the most over the selected period. Each row shows:

• The template name and category
• The number of times it was used
• The revenue it generated
• (Optional) A "last used" timestamp

Use this to:

• Identify your top performers
• Spot templates nobody is using (and consider removing them)
• Inform what kind of templates to add next

Transaction history

At the bottom of the tab is a paginated table of every transaction in the selected date range. Each row shows the basics:

• Date and time
• Product (Strips / 4×6 / Smartphone)
• Quantity / copies
• Price
• Payment method
• (Optional) Customer email if collected

Pagination controls let you walk through the history (typically 20 per page).

Exporting transactions to CSV

For accounting or analysis in a spreadsheet:

1. Set the date range filter to the period you want to export.
2. Find the Export CSV (or similar) button near the transaction history.
3. Tap it.
4. The booth generates a CSV file containing every transaction in the selected period.
5. The file is saved to a USB drive (if one is plugged in) or to a local export folder. Watch the on-screen confirmation for the exact path.
6. You can cancel a long export mid-stream if needed.

The CSV includes columns for date, product, quantity, price, payment method, and (where available) customer email.

Verify it worked

You can use the Sales & Analytics tab effectively when you can:

• Switch the date range and watch all the numbers update
• Read the prints-remaining bar
• Find your top 3 most popular templates
• Export a week's transactions to CSV

Common problems

All stats show 0.

No transactions in the selected date range, or you have no sales yet. Switch to a longer date range, or run a test session.

Prints remaining shows --.

The printer hasn't reported its media level yet, or it's offline. Wait 30 seconds. If it stays --, check Diagnostics tab.

Numbers don't match what you expect.

Look at the date range filter. It may not be set to what you think. Change the filter to the correct period.

CSV export button does nothing or errors.

No USB drive plugged in (if export goes to USB). Plug a USB drive in and try again.

Popular templates list is empty.

Either no sessions in the date range, or templates aren't being tracked properly. Take a test session and check again.
