The Key Info page is the base page of the Key Info module. It allows users to instantly view a wide variety of data metrics for a single location, a location group, or the entire company. It also provides period-over-period actual versus budget comparisons for a selected metric. The page defaults to the most recent DOB (date of business) with Weekend and Period time frames displayed.


Basic Usage


  • Location Group - Select the location or location group for which to view information
  • Period to Show - Select the time frames for which to view information. Select from Week, Period, Quarter, or Year. Columns of information will be added for each time frame you select. You may select as many or as few time frames as you like.

  • Set Goals - Selecting SET GOALS brings up an additional grid just above the main grid. Values or Percentages can be entered as targeted goals and minimum goals. If a value/percent in the corresponding column falls below the bottom (minimum) specified goal, it will appear red in the grid.
