Profit Report

Section overview

This section allows generating the profit report, which analyzes profitability data and defines profits between Reseller parties (companies and managers) and Clients belonging to the respective Reseller/Manager.

For example, when Manager_1 executes a profitability report, it allows seeing their origination customers sending traffic to Manager_2, who owns the actual terminator vendors. In this case, Reseller's permissions apply to every query, which guarantees that Manager_1 will not be able to see any actual name of a Client belonging to another manager, or another party that restricts such access.

To generate a profit report, you need to fill in the required parameters in the form and click the "Query" button. To get information sorted, use the Group by option and choose respective values from the drop-down list.

  • Plain - a simple table view
  • Grouped - a table view with grouped data and possibility to collapse/expand it
  warning

  Please note that the Grouped type of a table view is available only for Excel XLSx and Web formats, it doesn't work with CSV.

• Limit: Determine the number of rows that will be visible in the report. It is useful for displaying some top positions by a chosen parameter. It is available only for the plain type of report.

• Send to: You can send generated reports via email. Also, it is possible to specify several emails.

  warning

  This feature is available only for CSV, Excel XLS, Excel XLSx formats of the report, it doesn't work with Web.

A generated profit report is demonstrated on a screenshot below:

If the data is grouped in the report, it will be shown initially collapsed. To expand or collapse data in your report, click the plus or minus icons.

warning

Please note that the system shows rounded values in the reports. However, while calculating the system takes an exact value. Hence, the procedure of the rounding is as follows:

• the system rounds currency values according to the settings of a respective currency;
• other parameters are rounded to the nearest ten thousandths. For example 3.879256 to 3.8793.

Creating a Query Template

A user can create a template for profit reports and save specified parameters by clicking the "Save Query" button. A pop-up window with settings will appear and you will need to fill out the following form:

To preview or load already existing templates while generating statistic reports, click the "Load Query" button and click on a template name or click a run icon.

Export a generated report

You can export data to XLSx or CSV file, which contains currently presented data by clicking the Export to XLSx or Export to CSV button respectively. Please note that Export to CSV is available only when the Type of the output is Plain.

warning

You can check an actual date interval of the report by clicking the Info icon, and it could be different from the Interval specified above if there is no data for the period.

Side-by-side report

This tool allows building a report with side-by-side sub-reports. Use it to run a comparative analysis on the same page. It's helpful for reviewing multiple parameters, totals and compare results at different time intervals. The Compare to option is designed to create a report that shows two sub-reports side-by-side. To enable this option, click on the plus icon next to the Interval field and specify both intervals for the report.

Then choose columns for the main and comparative period in the report Output form. When all required parameters are specified, click the "Query" button.

To remove this filter, please click the delete icon.

You can modify a comparative mode by changing periods and columns. For example, to compare how different the profit of the two periods is, choose the Profit value from the Columns. Therefore, the final report splits Profit into separate columns (see screenshot below).

Sharing a report

Each time you get a report output, the system generates a unique link in the format of /view?id=<uniq-string>. It allows sharing data between the users, even if they belong to different resellers (the feature works similarly to Share by Link in Google Drive).

The link refers to the report data valid for a specific moment.

Example

When you send a link to a report, you ensure the recipient would see the same data as you do. If you change data in the system (for example, perform rerating), the previously copied link to the report will display data valid for the moment of generation (even though the actual data is now different).

You can also view the additional information about the generated report by hovering over the Info icon, which is located under the Output section:

Title	Description
Data Interval	States the period set for a report
Generated by	Indicates the Role of the user who generated a report and specifies a generation time
Duration	Time spent to generate a report
