Understanding your Reports
Reports in Authorbase are categorized into two levels: All and Individual, encompassing seven areas: Books, Author, Series, Marketplace, Country, Format, and Tags.
All Reports
The All reports will display the content against itself. For the All Books reports, for example, you will see all your books and how they are performing against each other in the charts and reports.
Individual Reports
The Individual reports display a specific item to analyze deeper. That could be a book, series, format, etc. By selecting an individual book report, for example, you would be able to see how that book has performed over time, across countries and formats, etc.
