Understanding the Dashboard Reports

This guide walks through the different reports on the “Analytics” tab on the dashboard. For more details, check out our tutorial on Navigating the Tradogram Dashboard.

Visibility Settings

The view options for the dashboard are in the top right corner. 

The available drop-down options are:

  • Company Level View - all company-wide spend data and transactions
  • Branch Level View - all spend data and transactions within the branch
  • Department Level View - all spend data and transactions that are in departments you have access to
  • User Level View - spend data and transactions that the user has created.

The information that is visible in the dashboard will be based on the user’s access and permissions within the account. A few examples include:

  • If you have access to 2 of the 4 branches, if you have selected company-level view, you will only see the information for the 2 branches you have access to. 
  • If you have access to 3 of 7 departments in a branch, in the branch view, you will only see the details from those 3 departments. 
  • In the department-level view, you will see all the data for the departments you have access to. So if you have access to 2 departments, you will see the spend data for those 2 departments. 

*If you have your Tradogram account set for both Purchasing and sales details, you will be able to swap between a purchasing dashboard and a sales dashboard.
