Insights Exporter
The Insights Exporter allows you to export detailed sales data from eddy, scoped by either the Sales Period (when the revenue activity occurred) or the Reporting Period (when the revenue was received by your label). Please note that there is currently limited to a maximum scope of one calendar year per export.
You can optionally filter the export by specific sources (e.g., a particular distributor or royalty provider). If no source is selected, the exporter will include sales data from all available sources.
The export is delivered as a CSV file, containing a structured dataset with the following columns:
