Reading a report

Every report in RewireBox works the same way, which is the point: learn one and you can read all 42. A title, a line saying what it answers, a row of controls, and then a chart above a table.

Set the period first

The period control is the one that matters most, and it's the one people forget. Eight presets, and underneath them the actual dates it resolved to — Jul 16, 2026 – Aug 14, 2026 — so you're never guessing where "last 30 days" started.

Each report opens on the period that suits its subject rather than a single house default. The time clock opens on a week because that's how shifts are thought about; sales open on a month.

Filters change per report

Reports don't share one filter bar. Each offers only what makes sense for it:

• Group by — day, week or month, on reports that plot over time.
• Staff — a checklist of your team, on anything attributed to a person.
• Refunds by sale date / by refund date — which day a refund counts on.
• Location and brand, where you have more than one.

A report with no filters isn't missing them; there was nothing worth offering.

Chart and table are the same data

The chart plots one column — the one that's the point of the report, chosen by the report rather than guessed from position. The table is everything, with a totals row where a total means something.

That last part is worth knowing. Not every column can be summed. A running balance, an average, a percentage: adding those down a column produces a number that looks authoritative and means nothing. Where you see no total, that's why.

Getting it out

Export CSV gives you the report exactly as it stands — same period, same filters, same rows and columns. It's the same query, not a second one, so the spreadsheet can't quietly disagree with the screen you exported it from.

This is the button for your accountant, and it's usually faster than trying to find a report shaped exactly like their question.
