Overview
This report allows you to view sales grouped by custom regions, which you create and maintain. This report can be useful when evaluating how different groups of stores and items compare to one another when the grouping level doesn't neatly fall across market or patch lines. A common use case for this is for clients who have field sales reps and want to represent their specific stores as regions and report and compare the totals. Other customers use this report for comparing sales performance among store clusters with specific planograms.
Click-Through Interactivity
Notice in the above screenshot there are several columns which are blue in color. One of the big benefits of the web reporting is the ability to embed a number of rich interactions with the report results, right from inside the report. Usually, a left-most column that is clickable indicates a drill-down capability which will open a new report for the specific item or category with a higher level of data granularity. Holding your mouse over the link should provide you with a hint of what the link can do as well. Links in other columns often will provide you with pop-up graphs to enhance your understanding of the data in that row/column as well.
