Store overview

The Store overview application provides a widget dashboard that you can personalize to contain frequently used sources of information and tools. The dashboard is intended as an overview of the system's E-commerce Solution features.

Xperience offers various widgets that you can configure and place on the dashboard. For example, you can use widgets to view various e-commerce reports (e.g., monthly sales, sales by order status, etc.), to display a list of products, orders, etc. that match a specified filter, or to check whether all required e-commerce settings are configured correctly.

To learn how to work with widgets on dashboards, see Managing widget dashboard content and its child pages.
