Understanding widgets: Duplicating the Sales Order Leaderboard

Within the Layer users are able to utilise the widgets to see a snapshot of information regarding different areas of the Layer. The Sales Order Leaderboard has been created to allow you to see a snapshot of the statuses of your sales order.

Users have the ability to duplicate these to allow them to see different sales order statuses examples include:

  • Your ordering team wants to see In Progress Sales Orders
  • Your Finance Team may only want to see sales orders that are completed or require invoicing
  • The Sales Manager wants to see all sales order pending approval 
  • The Ordering and Finance team want to see all orders cancelled in the last month 

As you can see Sales Order Leaderboard widgets can be created for each of the statuses or a combination of statuses and can be used by different departments within your company to see the information that is important to them. 

This article will show you how to create widgets for different scenarios depending on what your Teams need.
