Pick the period with the date pill at the top of the page, narrow the data with the indigo **Filters** button, then shape the Cockpit table with **Group** and **Columns**. When the page shows what you need, click **Save view** to keep it.

## How do I pick dates and a comparison?

Open the date pill. Presets sit on the left: **Today**, **Yesterday**, **This Week (WTD)**, **Last Week**, **Last 7 days**, **Last 30 days**, **This Month (MTD)**, **Last Month**, quarters, **This Year (YTD)**, **Last 12 Months** and **Amazon Events**. The calendar sets any range; click a day twice for one day.

Next to it, **Compare to** picks the baseline: **Previous period**, **2 periods ago**, **Same period last year** or **Custom**. On an Amazon event, it offers the earlier editions of that event.

## What is the difference between Channel and Accounts?

| Filter | What it lists | When you see it |
|---|---|---|
| **Channel** | **Amazon 3P** (Seller Central, you sell to the shopper) and **Amazon 1P** (Vendor Central, you sell to Amazon) | Only in a workspace with a Vendor Central account |
| **Accounts** | Each Amazon account of the workspace, with its sales and share over your dates | Always |

The channel belongs to the account, so **Channel** is a shortcut: ticking **Amazon 1P** keeps every Vendor Central account at once. Use **Accounts** to keep one account. In every drawer, nothing ticked means everything.

The panel also has **Marketplaces**, **Parent ASIN**, **Child ASIN**, **SKUs** and **My Filters**, your own tags from **Product Segmentation**.

## How do I see Child ASINs with their SKUs underneath?

Set **Group** to **Child ASINs**, then **SKUs**, which is the default. Each row opens to show its SKUs. **Group** offers **Accounts** (with more than one account), **Marketplaces**, **Parent ASINs**, **Child ASINs**, **SKUs** and your tags; **then** offers only finer levels, and nothing under **SKUs**.

## How do I choose columns and sort?

Click **Columns**, tick figures, drag to reorder, up to 20. Click a column header to sort: the first click sorts high to low, the second low to high.

## How do I save and share a view?

On **Cockpit** and **Profit & Loss**, open **Views** › **Save current as view**, name the view and choose its **Visibility**:

| Option | Who can use it |
|---|---|
| **Personal** | Only you, in this workspace |
| **This workspace** | Everyone with access to this workspace |
| **Pick workspaces** | This workspace and the others you tick |

A view keeps the filters, columns, grouping, sort and Cockpit tab. It never keeps the dates: switching views leaves your period as it is.

Once you change a filter or the columns, a **Save view** button appears next to **Views**: **Update** overwrites the view you have open if you created it, **Save as new view** saves a personal one. To share a view later, open **Views** and click **Edit view** beside it.

## Which currency am I reading?

The currency sign in the page header opens **Display currency**. Your pick applies to you only. Adding currencies is in [Time zone and currency](/docs/using-nova/time-zone-and-currency).

## Common mistakes

| You see | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Totals lower than expected | A drawer still has a tick | Open **Filters** and clear it |
| **Save view** stays hidden after a date change | Dates are not part of a view | Expected |
| No **Accounts** in **Group** | The workspace has one account | Group by **Marketplaces** |
| Vendor figures missing | **Channel** keeps **Amazon 3P** only | Untick it |
