Dashboard (TrafficXP)
The main dashboard provides updates on station data in near real-time. There are several charts and graphs available and we continue to add more all the time. The dasboard also serves as the starting point for all of the various modules available to you depending on your current account configuration(s).
Charts and Graphs
In the main window, you will see several charts, graphs and tables. Each of these contain a quick overview of activity for your station(s).
- Invoice Completion
This chart presents the current status (finalized and paid) of invoices for each month since the initial use of RT.
- New Order Revenue (Last 5 Weeks)
This graph displays the overall sales entered over the past five weeks. The date used is when the order was actually created; so any extension or changes made to each order are still considered part of the original order; thus the original created date.
- Sales by Conflict (YTD)
This chart chart breaks down sales on a primary conflict basis since January 1st.
- Spot Placement Count (Last 5 Weeks)
This chart presents the overall spot placement count (number of actual spots placed on logs) for the current and prior four weeks.
- Tomorrow's Spot Placement (All Stations)
This chart presents the overall filled progress of all of tomorrows logs in your system.
- Top 10 Sales People by Billing (YTD)
This chart represents the overall receivable cash based on billing (invoicing) on a per sales person basis since January 1st.
- Top 10 Users This Calendar Month
This chart provides an idea regarding the amount of usage (time logged in to RT) for the top ten users for the current calendar month.

Modules
The system is divided into several task based areas called modules. Each module represents a different group of similar tasks that need to be performed throughout the traffic and billing process.
- Administration
Think of the administration module as "global settings". - Orders
Where you will view, add, modify, etc. the orders that will be used to schedule spots onto the daily logs (or to generate invoices in the case of off air revenue). - Log
Everything related to editing, exporting and reconciling the daily logs. - Accounts Receivable
Now that you have the orders and logs done, this is the module used to bring everything together and generating invoices. Once you receive payment on these invoices, you will also use this module to handle payments, adjustments and deposits. - Reports
Want to print some information out? The Reports module contains several "standard" reports that you can preview or print; in some cases actually export to several other viewable formats.
Status Bar
The status bar is the section located at the bottom of the window that includes several pieces of information and status indicators for any background processes that may be taking place.
- Group
The current group selected. - User
The username of the account currently signed in. - Progress
Only visible when background processes are taking place. Represents the overall completion of the background processes running. - Edition
