BI Dashboard VS Classic Dashboard
FollowUnleashed Dashboards
Unleashed's default Dashboard view uses data from Business Intelligence (BI) to provide an overview of your company's recent performance and it's current stock position. But you also have the option to view Unleashed's Classic Dashboard, which populates your data using a different set of parameters; providing you with an alternative view of your company's performance. Having both dashboard views available gives you the flexibility to review your business's standing as you'd prefer.
For more details on viewing each dashboard, see Navigate around Unleashed.
Dashboard parameters
The Classic and BI dashboards don't use the same dates to populate their calculated results and also don't include all of the same data, so they aren't expected to match.
- The Classic Dashboard populates Sales data based on the transaction's Completed Date, including charges. Credits however, are not factored in for the Classic Dashboard.
- The BI Dashboard, populates Sales data based on the Invoice's Invoice Date, including charges and also takes any Credits completed for the completed Invoices into account.
NOTE: The Classic Dashboard refreshes every 15-20 minutes, whereas BI has a refresh rate that runs approximately every 4 hours.

- From Unleashed's main menu, head to Reports, Sales and select Margin Enquiry.
