Notes

  • Entries are placed on the day they occurred in the time zone of the dealership.
  • The chart uses amounts in the dealership currency.
  • For Last 12 Months, the first month is charted in full. The first bar can therefore include days before the start of the period.
  • With no movement, the chart shows No Transactions Yet and suggests a longer period.
  • The dashboard overview uses the same chart.
