The sales report is kind of a jack of all trades in that you can generate multiple different report types from one page in your Checkfront dashboard. In total, there are 7 different report types and each of these can then be filtered by date range, the staff member who made the booking, the booking category and then by individual items.
The different reports are accessible through a drop-down menu, next to the main page title as seen below:
We'll look at each report individually, starting with the Day report. We'll show you how to, first of all, generate the report, but then also how to use the filtering facilities to target more specific results. Then, for the other report types, we'll just provide a description of the report without the filtering, since you should by then understand how to use it ;)
Sales Report: Day
Back to topThe Day Sales Report shows the revenue generated on any given day during the timeframe selected. The available data columns are as follows:

From the second part of the date selector, you can then choose a timeframe from which to select the dates. In the example below, we have chosen to display the date a booking was created, within the last 30 days.
Please note, if a date is not included in the report, there were no bookings on that day.
