Two questions involved in my quagmire:
- Where do I find ‘report functionality’ in the woo themes plugins?
- How do I implement reporting for a custom user role in the orders section (the custom user role has already been created in WP?
Example:
sales by date | sales by product | sales by 'custom user role here'
Solution for Query 1:
The report functionality can be assessed from front-end via WooCommerce->Reports as shown in the following image
The backend of this functionality comes from the Package WooCommerce/Admin/Reports i.e. within the file structure of
/woocommerce/includes/admin/reports/
Solution for Query 2:
WooCommerce doesn’t provide “sales by ‘custom user role here'” by deafult but you can code so or you can use Woocommerce Order Report Snapshot plugin to get roles specific reports
