CORE REPORTS


Activity Count

Activity Count is useful to see trends in which Activities/Tasks are logged most frequently, what the logging trends look like, and how many accounts each active user has touched. You can download any of these graphs as .png, .jpg, or .csv files. There are four white boxes that can generate different types of information and those are broken down below:

  • Box 1: “Activity”
    1. Choose the team(s) to include in this report.
    2. Choose the Activities/Tasks to include.
    3. Choose the date range.
    4. In the next drop down, choose to view the report 'By Count' (number of times selected Activities/Tasks are logged) or 'By Points' (total number of points earned by the Activities/Tasks logged).
    5. 'Annual Comparison' checkbox - check this box to see how these Activities/Tasks logs compare for the same period last year.
    6. As selections are made, the table will auto populate below the selections. Each Activity/Task will show as a separate bar on the graph. When hovering the cursor over each bar, the count or number of points (depending on what was chosen in the drop down at the top of the screen), will display what was logged for that particular Activity/Task.
    7. If  'Annual Comparison' was check marked,  a clear indication of activities logged will show for last year (represented in dark gray) and for this year (represented in green).
  • Box 2: “Activity by User”
    1. Choose the team(s) to include in this report.
    2. Choose the rep(s) to include.
    3. Choose the Activities/Tasks to include.
    4. Choose the date range.
    5. In the next drop down, choose to view the report 'By Count' (number of times selected Activities/Tasks are logged) or 'By Points' (total number of points earned by the Activities/Tasks logged).
    6. As selections are made, the table will auto populate below the selections. Each Activity/Task will show as a separate bar on the graph. When hovering the cursor over each bar, the count or number of points (depending on what was chosen in the drop down at the top of the screen), will display what was logged for that particular Activity/Task.
  • Box 3: “Activity Trends”
    1. Choose the team(s) to include in this report.
    2. Choose the Activities/Tasks to include.
    3. Choose the date range - only daily, weekly or monthly is available.
    4. 'Annual Comparison' checkbox - checking this box will populate additional information to see how these Activities/Tasks logs compare for the same period last year.
    5. A table will populate below the drop downs as choices are made. In the line graph, the x-axis shows the number of times the Activity/Task was logged and the y-axis shows the date range (day, week, or month) in which that Activity/Task was logged. Hover over any of the points on the map to see a breakdown of each individual Activity/Task logged during the chosen time frame.
    6. Below the graph, is a legend showing the color associated with each Activity/Task.
  • Box 4: Accounts Touched
    1. Choose the team(s) to include in this report.
    2. Choose the rep(s) to include.
    3. Choose the Activities/Tasks to include.
    4. Choose the date range.
    5. A table will populate below the drop downs as choices are made. Each bar in the graph will show an active user for that time period. Hover over a specific bar to see the total number of accounts that user touched when logging the selected Activities/Tasks for the chosen time frame.


Goals By Action

Goals by Action is useful to see metrics for a particular goal's progress. For sales based goals, Users can view progress for goals set against specific brands and/or SKUs. For accomplishment based goals, Users are able to view progress for goals set against a specific Activity or Task.

  1. Choose the team(s) to include in this report.
  2. Choose the rep(s) to include.
  3. Choose the goal type – either sales based (Sell) or accomplishment based (Accomplish).

      1. Choose the Brand(s).
      2. Choose the SKU(s).
      3. Indicate if this is for Active or Archived goals.
      4. Click 'Run'.
      5. Tables will populate below the drop downs for each goal that applies to the brands/SKUs selected. The tables are:
        • Goal Name.
        • Goal Description.
        • Goal Duration.
        • The name(s) of each rep the goal is assigned to.
        • The periods for which the goal has been tracking.
        • A progress bar that shows how close the rep is to achieving their goal for each period.
        • The total target value for the goal for each period.
    2. Accomplishment Based:
      1. Choose whether this goal emphasizes a Category, Activity or Task.
      2. Depending on that choice, the drop down to the right will change. Specify in that drop down which Category, Activity or Task sub-item will populate.
      3. Select in the last drop down, if this is for an active or archived goal.
      4. Click “Run”.
      5. Tables will populate below those choices for each goal that applies to the Activities or Tasks selected. The Category choice only allows one Category sub-item to be chosen.
      6. These tables will outline the following information:
        • Header - Goal Name - Goal Description - Goal Duration.
        • Below the Header - the name(s) of each user the goal is assigned to.
        • The periods for which the goal has been tracking.
        • A progress bar that shows how close the rep is to achieving their goal for each period.
        • The total target value for the goal for each period.


Goals By User

    1. All Goals for that rep, a progress bar for each goal along with the Duration, Type of goal, the Date Range and Days Remaining. Interactive buttons for each goal are as follows:
      • A “Goal History” button:
        1. This allows you to view a historical record of whether or not the rep has a history of accomplishing the selected goal.
      • A “Detail” button:
        1. This allows you to view which specific logs have been entered and have counted towards this goal.
      • An “Archive” trash can/button:
        1. This allows you to archive the goal directly from this report page if it is a goal that no longer needs to be tracked.


Leaderboards

Leaderboards are used to show which users have earned the most points in correlation to the rest of the team or completed the most of any one Activity or Task. New leaderboards for teams can also be created here. Both active and archived leaderboards can be viewed.

  1. To view existing leaderboards:
    1. In the dropdown towards the top left of the report window, choose the desired team view.
    2. Click on the Active or Archive tab below that.

      • If “By Activity/Task” is selected, choose the Activities/Tasks for the leaderboard to track against. This leaderboard will then rank reps based on points earned by logging the selected Activities/Tasks.
    9. Click “Done” and the leaderboard will go into effect immediately.


Placements

This report will show all commitments that reps have gained in market for the selected time frame and whether or not those commitments have been fulfilled.

  1. Choose the team(s) to include in this report.
  2. Choose the rep(s) to include.
  3. Choose the date range for the report.
  4. Click “Run”.
  5. In the table that populates below the chosen parameters, two tabs appear. The Placements tab is to view values on number of placements entered. The CE's tab is to view by number of CE's those placements are worth. Under both tabs are: the teams included, each selected user on those teams, and the number of fulfilled placements, matched issues, total placements entered, remaining placements, lost placements, and an overall closing percentage for each rep.
  6. Choose a rep and click on his or her “Details” button to the right side of the screen, to see more detailed information on the exact placements that have been entered. Those break down as follows:
    1. Tabs within the Details:
      • Total – All placements, whether they are fulfilled, outstanding, sitting in matched issues, or lost.
      • Fulfilled – All placements that have already matched to an invoice.
      • Matched Issues – All placements that have been entered and have matched to an invoice but do not match perfectly. These matched issues are based on either unit discrepancies (EX; placement entered for 2 units of LP Lager 1/6 BBLs but invoice is reported for 1 unit of LP Lager 1/6 BBL) or SKU discrepancies (EX; placement entered for 1 unit of LP Lager 1/6 BBL but invoice is reported for 1 unit of LP Lager 4/6/12oz cans).
      • Remaining – All placements that have been entered into Lilypad but have not yet matched to an invoice.
      • Lost – All placements that have been entered into Lilypad, have not matched to an invoice, and have timed out of the placements funnel completely.
    2. Columns within the Details:
      • Entered – The date on which the placement was actually created in our system.
      • Matching Date – The earliest date on which credit will be awarded for the placement assuming it matches to an invoice.

      • Address – The account’s physical address.
      • SKU – The SKU that the account has committed to ordering from the distributor.
      • Units – The number of units of the previously mentioned SKU that the account has committed to ordering.
      • CE’s – The total number of CE’s that specific placement is worth.
      • Promised – The date by which the product is expected to land in the account, as indicated by the rep.
      • Approved – The name of the point of contact at the account who made the commitment.
      • Dist. Rep – The name of the distributor rep responsible for servicing this account.
      • Management Override - see below - How To - Manually Match Placements

How To - Manually Match Placements ***

In some instances, managers may want or need to manually match a rep's placements. If that occurs, please run a Placements report through the Analyze reports and follow the steps outlined below.


  • “Match” button – will allow Managers to override the automatic placement system and move the placement immediately to Fulfilled, and in turn awards the rep credit for the placement.
  • “Edit” button – will allow Managers to make adjustments to the placement after a rep has entered it. Edits/updates can be applied to: the SKU the account committed to, the number of units the account committed to, and any notes for that placement. This is also an opportunity to move the placement into the Lost portion of the funnel. Edits can be made to fulfilled placements.
  • Clipboard Icon = “Previous Invoices”  - This will show all invoices the account has received based on the time frame selected in the top left corner of the 'Invoices' window that populates. This is used to confirm if placements have landed. If an invoice was received, this window shows the name of the SKU that was invoiced, the date of the invoice, and the total number of CE’s that invoice was worth.

*** NOTE - Placements reports can be saved out and downloaded by clicking either the blue CSV or green EXCEL buttons in the top right corner of the report window.
