As you probably know FloristWare generates many different reports. As useful as these reports are there is a simple trick that makes them even more beneficial.
FloristWare almost always gives you the option of sorting lists and reports in not just one but many different ways.
For example, when you look at a report you will see that each column of information has a header that describes the contents of that column.
For example, the Sales By Product report has column headers that read “Product Name”, “Item Count”, etc.
You will notice that some of these headers appear in blue text. Clicking on a blue header will sort the report by the contents of that column.
If for example you clicked the blue “Product Name” header FloristWare will sort the list of products alphabetically from A to Z. If you click the same header again it will reverse the sort order - in this case from Z to A.
It works the same way with numbers. If you clicked on a blue header that read “Item Count” FloristWare will sort the list by the contents of the item count column. Clicking it once will sort the list from high to low and clicking it again will sort it from low to high.
In another example, the Staff Performance report shows you staff performance for both sales and production. Clicking on a sales header will show you your best (or worst) salespeople. Clicking a production header will show you your best (or worst) producers.
FloristWare will also print reports in whatever order they were last sorted.
Try it! This feature can save you a lot of time and help you make the most of all those reports.
