General Information

Comparing reports' data allows to see if you need to make any changes in pricing or product descriptions. For some reports, you need to specify the report dates before the report is generated.

Once you open any report, the following options are available: print, save, see the report outline, thumbnails, choose page settings and edit page (report). There are also numerous export options available. You can save the current report as an image file, PDF file or a table and open it later using some application. This can be a big help when it comes to filling out your tax report, since you can import it directly into an Excel spreadsheet.

All reports in Store Manager can be customized. You can change report layout, insert pictures (logos), add and remove fields etc. There are many ways to customize a specific Report.

Go to the "Edit" page by clicking the corresponding icon. There you'll see "Designer's" toolbar, “Standard” toolbar, “Text” toolbar, “Frame” toolbar, “Align” toolbar.

Also, you can create your own reports. By each report name you can identify its purpose and information it contains.

Each report has two parts:

Report template - are stored in .fr3 files; they contain report layout information.
Report queries - are stored in .sql files; they contain SQL queries to retrieve data required for the report.

You can find report files under the "Application Data" directory shortcut:

Start -> All Programs -> eMagicOne -> Store Manager for Magento -> Application Data.

By default Store Manager the "Application Data" directory looks like this:

In case you have the most recent versions of Windows, you can find the necessary location by following this path:

C:\Users\$your_username$\AppData\Local\eMagicOne Store Manager for Magento

Report Types

Report section helps to automatically calculate hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly data for your store. Program has two types of reports:

General reports (Currently there are five reports available by default)
Custom reports (You can create them manually)

These two types are almost identical, the only difference is that custom reports can be modified within Store Manager. You can add new custom reports or remove existing, whereas default reports should be modified with external program called Report Tool (rptviewer).

You do not need to download Report Tool. It is located in application program group along with other program shortcuts:

C:\Program Files (x86)\eMagicone\Store Manager for Magento\rptviewer3

Form Barcode-Labels for Selected Items

Select the items that you want to generate and print barcode-labels for and use the right-click to call the context menu with the necessary section:

Then, you should select the relevant store view from the list, in case you have multiple stores:

Choose an identifier that will be used for barcode-labels generation from the drop-down list:

Important! The current parameter should be numerical only! The fields with the mixed values will lead to the incorrect labels generation and you can get the following barcode-labels view:

In addition, you can modify the labels view in a file - add new themes or colors, some extra information and logo of the company. In order to perform this follow such path to open and customize the report file:

C:\Users\$your_username$\AppData\eMagicOne Store Manager for Magento\Custom_Reports\Barcode_Labels\ report.rptviewer3File

Report Editing

Store Manager allows you to work with a third-party program (Report Tool) for report developing and editing. Check User's Manual to learn more about this tool.

In case you want to add some logo or change text format for some columns, you need to modify report template (you do not need to modify SQL files).

To edit one of report templates follow few steps:

Run Report Tool - Go to:

 Start -> All Programs -> eMagicone -> Store Manager for Magento -> rptviewer3

2. Open Report Template (.fr3 file) in the Report Tool - Go to:

Start -> All Programs -> eMagicone -> Store Manager for Magento -> Application Data -> Reports -> English (for default reports like Invoices, etc)

Start -> All Programs -> eMagicone -> Store Manager for Magento -> Application Data -> Reports -> Custom Reports (for Custom reports).

Also, you can find it in

C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User\Local Settings\Application Data\eMagicone Store Manager for Magento\Reports\English\

C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User\Local Settings\Application Data\eMagicone Store Manager for Magento\Reports\ Custom Reports

Remember that every report, besides of its template, needs some data to be displayed. To customize data for any report (in case you would like to add some additional information to your report), you have to modify .sql files.

SQL files are stored in Reports\SQL sub-folder. Please note that this requires some SQL skills. Note that modification of a report is not a feature of Store Manager itself and we do not provide support for the third-party application (Report Tool).
