Learn how to understand and manage 'Scheduled' orders and reporting in Keystone with this tutorial. Effectively tracking scheduled orders and utilizing reporting tools ensures better organization and data-driven insights.
1. Scheduled: Dashboard vs. Orders Listing Screen
Dashboard
- Definition:
- Displays any order that has been submitted but is not yet canceled or completed.
- Does not include leads or drafts.
- Purpose:
- Offers a comprehensive view of orders that are actively in progress, regardless of whether they are for past or future dates.
- Important Note:
- The data shown on the Dashboard depends solely on the first service date of each order.
Orders Listing Screen
- Definition:
- Displays orders with upcoming appointments (i.e., future orders that have been scheduled but not yet completed).
- Past orders will still appear on this screen but are not considered "scheduled" if their scheduled date has already passed.
- Purpose:
- Helps users quickly identify and manage inspections and tasks scheduled for the future.
Key Difference
- On the Dashboard, "Scheduled" includes all submitted orders in progress, regardless of timing, and excludes leads and drafts.
- On the Orders Listing Screen, "Scheduled" only applies to future appointments, while past orders will be visible but marked differently based on their status.
2. Using Advanced Reporting To Compare Dashboard
- Pulling Consistent Data:
To match the numbers seen on the Dashboard, you must filter Advanced Reporting based on the date of service. - Example:
- If the primary inspection occurred on Tuesday, but a radon test was scheduled for the next Friday, the entire order will appear under Tuesday on the Dashboard.
- Best Practice:
- Use the Date of Service filter in Advanced Reporting to ensure accurate and comparable data retrieval.
