Catalog Dashboard
When the Catalog dashboard is first displayed, these summary graphs are shown:
- Top 5 Products: Previous vs. Current Month: shows the top products for the indicated month, where the top product is the product with the highest total value of orders in direct commerce when converted to the Enterprise currency. Products ordered by storefront partners are excluded from this summary.
- Top 5 Categories by Value: Current Month: shows the top five categories for the indicated month, where the top product is the product with the highest total value of orders in direct commerce when converted to the Enterprise currency. Products ordered by storefront partners are excluded from this summary.
- From Catalog to Cart: Source Pages: summarizes how products have been added to carts.
The catalog reports are organized into these sections:

Catalog Report
The Catalog report produces a printable catalog of some or all of the products in the online catalog. It displays the following information for each product:
- Category and product detail information, including product ID, image and description
- If product is an assembly, the assembly line items
- Product feature information
When you use C3 Analyzer to create a catalog, bear in mind the following:
- C3 Analyzer does not obtain images directly from their storage places on the Comergent eBusiness System. Images to be included in the Catalog report must be copied into the ac_server_home/CatalogImages/ directory on the Actuate Server machine. (Images missing from this directory will be replaced by the missingimage.jpg file, which is a blank white rectangle.)
- Images must all have the same aspect ratio (ratio of length to width of 1:1.33).
- The large quantity of images and the typically large number of products in a catalog may make it advisable to split the catalog into several smaller components, or if a full catalog must be created in one shot, then do so at a time when few users are accessing reports and the Knowledgebase.
Advisor Summary Report
The Advisor Summary report summarizes C3 Advisor activity during the reporting period: that is, what questions and answers are being used to guide users in selecting products.
|
To ensure that data is gathered for this report, you must set the Track Questionnaire Answers Action business rule to "On". |
It contains these sections:
- The first section comprises a bar graph that shows how many times each response has been selected for the first question on the first page of the C3 Advisor questionnaire.
- The second section is tabular. It shows for each question answered during the reporting period, how many times each response to that question was selected. The number of responses is then totalled for each question. The questions are ordered by the total number of responses each has received.
TABLE 61. Advisor Summary Report Parameters

|
Users may enter a string in order to search by question content. One or more wildcard (*) characters may be included anywhere in the string. Because of the nature of this kind of search, any string that is entered will be treated as if it has a wildcard at the beginning and the end. Search will not be case-sensitive. If any of the following characters appear alone in the Partner Name text box, then they will be ignored, and the report will be run as if no Partner Name parameter had been entered: (These characters are meaningful to either the web server, the Actuate server or SQL, and therefore cannot be part of a partner name string.) |
|
As for Questions that contain, but used for searching by answer content. |
|
Users may enter a single partner name or a string representing a partial name with one or more wildcard (*) characters anywhere in the string. If the box is left blank, then the search will include all partners. Character exclusions as for question and answer content. |
