Please Expand / Lengthen Shop Sales Records

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Please Expand / Lengthen Shop Sales Records

Post by Ellisaria » Mon Jul 10, 2023 2:39 pm

This has been requested before: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=40494&p=314112

The issues: shop sales records are limited to twenty-five entries before they roll off. For shops that sell consumables in high-traffic areas, this often means that sales are lost before they can be tracked. It also means that someone working in an IC position that tracks sales has to check certain shops every day, sometimes twice per day, to maintain accurate records.

The solution: expand the list to give more than twenty-five entries. Ideally, as in the original suggestion, having the current and previous months sales accessible would mean that I could actually take a day off IC work shopkeepers or others tracking sales would have access to all their data. Another alternative would be to have entries roll off after thirty RL days.

Thank you for your consideration. :)

The other suggestion has been approved. I will increase the output to 50.

The roll off date is for entries older than 45 days. So, the other sales are just hidden underneath. If 50 is not a performance issue and is still too low, I will look to further increase it. However, I do believe doubling is a good first step.

As I have approved the other suggestion, I will reject this current one as there are not current considerations to adding an option to display current month and previous month outputs.
