The real-time sales counter is today's selling on one screen, refreshing by itself: a page to leave open in the office or on a manager's tablet. By the end you will know what each part shows.

## Open it

Open [Sales › Real-time Sales Counter](/app/real-time-sales-counter). It shows only to roles allowed to see it.

At the top, choose the **Warehouse** (or **All Warehouse**) and how often it **UPDATES EVERY**: 10, 30, 60 or 120 seconds. **Pause** stops the updates, **Refresh** updates now, and the speaker button turns the sound for each new sale on or off. **LIVE** and the clock show it is running.
