Coverage and frequency reports

Coverage and frequency reports calculate how many active customers have been contacted or locations have been visited and how frequently over the report period.

Coverage and frequency reports count contacts with active customers or locations only. They do not count any contacts made with customers or locations marked as inactive on the day the report is run. Contact counts may, therefore, vary from those shown on the Activity and Rates report or the Contacts by … reports. 

Important: Customer coverage and frequency reports count contacts at their primary location only which may not be the same as the location where the contact occurred (off-territory).

Customers (Territory) and Customers (Territory/Employee) reports show the number of customers seen during contacts (calls and meetings) made over a specified period in an area, how often the customers have been seen during that period and the number of customers not seen. The difference between the two reports is that the latter contains an additional column to show the employee name.

Location (Territory) and Location (Territory/Employee) reports show the number of locations visited (calls and meetings) over a specified period in an area, how often the locations have been visited during that period and the number of locations not visited. The difference between the two reports is that the latter contains an additional column to show the employee name.
