Overview
This report allows you to choose several time periods to view year-over-year sales and inventory comparisons for each period in a single report. Additionally it provides inventory data for the most recent time available. This report is very useful as a webquery as it can provide the equivalent data of multiple reports in a single request. This report allows drill-down capability to market and item-level details.
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.
