Dashboard needs 'Average Total Sales per Session' to get the true average sales.
Daily you need to measure numbers and in my studio I sometime get multiple orders per portrait session. It would great to measure 'Average Total Sales per Session' straight away or at the end of the day rather than waiting to when you change Session Status to final. I need live averages straight away on the dashboard so I can direct staff now not later. Currently you can only see the 'Average Initial order' on the dashboard which only shows the first initial order.
We’re going to remove this suggestion for now, until we have more information why the current functionality is not sufficient. Please see our previous comment on this post. Thank you for your continual input!

We are looking to have the average sales figure that is connected to a specific session. This way we can know what the sales trends are per specific type of session.

It would be helpful for us to better understand your requirements here. Spectra/Stratus already has the be ability to report 'Average Total Sales Per Session'. Help us understand why this feature is not sufficient enough for you.
FYI, the reason that we require that the session be 'closed' before it is reported in your averages is for accuracy. For example, if you have a session that has been shot, but the client has not ordered yet, then this session will drive down your sales average. Or, if a clients places a small order right away, but are coming back next week with their spouse to place a larger order, then their average will change. Somehow, we need to know for each session that it is complete and is now ready to be included in your Sales Averages. Otherwise, your Averages will not be accurate, and will always be changing on you. Make sense?

Yes! I totally agree. Right now I am doing this quarterly manually in Excel. This needs to be in the dashboard!

I agree with Eric and the original poster. Average order information is crucial to tracking my business.

It also important that this ignores whether a session is closed or not. I don't want users who fail to close sessions skewing report results.
Would LOVE to see this implemented.
