Timelines

The Timelines tab shows five charts of your shop’s activity over the past 30 days, one bar or area per day. It’s a quick read on cycles and unusual depletions, not a per-event log.

Order Timelines

Three charts, grouped at the top of the tab:

Orders per Day: bar chart of the number of orders placed each day.
Sales Value per Day: area chart of total sales revenue each day, in your shop currency.
Variants Sold per Day: bar chart of how many distinct variants sold each day.

Inventory Timelines

Two charts at the bottom of the tab:

Inventory Change per Day: bar chart of net inventory movement each day. Green bars are net additions (stock in); purple bars are net depletions (stock out).
Inventory Value per Day: area chart of total inventory value at the end of each day, at cost by default (Settings → Dashboard can switch the basis to retail). Days recorded before a basis change keep their original valuation, so the chart shows a one-time level shift when the basis changes, including the August 2026 update, which changed the default from retail to cost.

What to look for

Use these charts for pattern-spotting at a glance:

A weekly rhythm in the orders chart (strong Mondays, quiet Sundays) confirms what your customers actually do.
A purple spike in the inventory change chart that doesn’t line up with high sales suggests a write-off, a stock take adjustment, or a transfer worth checking.
A gentle slope in inventory value while orders stay flat hints at slow-moving stock building up.

Data freshness

Next to the “Order Timelines” title you’ll see a caption reading “Last 30 days · Data as of <date>”, with an info icon explaining that these charts come from a nightly inventory snapshot and can lag a day behind the Forecast and Reporting pages. See KPIs → Data freshness for the full explanation, including what the caption shows before your first snapshot exists.
