How Can I See an Item's Utilization Over a Given Time Period?

Use the Item Usage Panel in Goodshuffle Pro to measure how frequently an item is used during a specific date range.

Written by Sierra Burton

This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

If you want to know how often an item is being booked, the Usage tab in your inventory is the perfect tool.


How to View Item Usage

  1. Go to the “Inventory” tab in your dashboard.

  2. Click on the item you want to review.

  3. Navigate to the “Usage” tab.

  4. Select a time range from the dropdown — including the next or previous 30/60 days, 3/6/12 months, Month to Date (MTD), or Year to Date (YTD).

Note: The Item Usage tab only supports the preset time ranges listed above. If you need to filter by a specific custom date range, you can do so from your Inventory view by adding the Gross Revenue column — see How Do I Generate an Item Revenue Report and Sort the Highest and Lowest Revenue Items? for instructions.

What You'll See in the Report

The usage panel includes a variety of metrics to help you assess performance:
