The readout that is viewable on the chart is NOT in real-time, although it does update with the completion of transactions at the terminal the user must refresh the screen to view current sales data. The Monitor is separated by Ticket sales, Item sales, and categories. Each top-line selection has an assortment of viewing options found at the bottom of the screen.
Ticket Sales Monitor
At the top of the screen are three radio buttons. Select Tickets to view all ticket sales arranged by the hour for the date selected in the upper right-hand corner. Advanced Day sales sold on the selected date will appear in the hour and date for which the tickets were purchased. Only current-day sales will show up in the ticket sales monitor.
