Creating Snapshots
Once you have a report, you can add a Snapshot to
- gather the data by specified time slices
- consolidate the data by groupings
- present the data visually in a graph or totals
Using the image below, we'll take you through the steps of creating a Snapshot.

- In your Report, click the Snapshot tab.
- Give your Snapshot a name.
- Decide what time frequency to base your data time slices on.
- Pick from Count, Sum, Average, Minimum, and Maximum.
- Optionally group by one of the Report columns.
- Optionally select Ascending or Descending
- Optionally choose a second column to group by.
Save your Snapshot.
It will then be available to display the results in
- the Data tab in Reports: Choose the Snapshot just above the Report results (see the dropdown at the lower-left of the image below)
- Dashboard widgets.

Adding this Snapshot to a Dashboard widget with the following settings will display the resulting image. You can add multiple Snapshots from multiple Reports to a widget for comparison. In this example, you might also want to show the quantities of put and count orders in the queue.
