Management Reports

There are a number of inbuilt reports within Stison, some of which enable you to analyse your data and some of which generate dynamically from your data. The management reports are dynamically generated from your sales data. 

Navigating to Sales and Royalties / Royalties Reports provides you with access to this. You can then view an overview of your sales data. 

The General Tab

You will see a series of graphical views of what you have sold and to whom. 

Details of the reports are as follows: 

A: Year on Year sales for the last four years - each year as a separate pie chart segmented by sales type ie Print, Ebook, Rights

B: Year on Year sales by value for the last four years
