Metric Reports

Metric reports provide a concise and comprehensive set of metrics to analyze how your business is performing from resource occupancy, popularity of services to trends. Several report types are offered to focus on specific data. See below for a list of all metric reports.

Merchant Occupancy Generate a comprehensive summary of all merchants within a group. Examine the performance of each location by comparing the number of bookings, booked, scheduled and serviced hours as well as busy time slots.
Metric Group Event Analyze how group events are performing, compare the number of bookings with the actual attendance and see how much revenue is generated per event. From these metrics, evaluate if events are financially successful and adjust capacity if attendance is lower than expected.
Service Occupancy Analyze how each service provided is performing by examining the number of bookings, booked and serviced hours as well as the revenue generated. Use these metrics to implement changes to your service offering, refocus resources on services generating more revenue, etc.
Staff Occupancy Analyze how staff are performing, from the number of bookings they were involved with to the number of scheduled, booked and serviced hours. Modify work schedule based on peak hours.
Resource Occupancy Survey how resources are performing, the number of bookings the resource was used for along with booked and serviced time.

Protocol Options

Here is a list of protocols supported with the automated FTP report. When it comes to selecting a transfer method between FTP, FTPS or SFTP we highly recommend avoiding the basic FTP protocol and choosing a more secure option. As an alternative, reports can be uploaded to Google Cloud Storage by specifying GCS as a protocol.

Booxi is using dedicated outbound IPs for all reports except GCS. They should be whitelisted by customers.

FTP

FTP exchanges data using two separate channels known as the command channel and data channel. With FTP, both channels are unencrypted, leaving any data sent over these channels vulnerable to being intercepted and read. It should only be used in limited cases or on networks you trust.

FTPS

Like FTP, FTPS uses two connections: a command channel and a data channel. It authenticates your connection using a user ID and password, a certificate, or both. When connecting to a trading partner's FTPS server, your FTPS client will validate if the server's certificate is trusted. 

SFTP

SSH File Transfer Protocol is a separate protocol packaged with SSH that works in a similar way but over a secure connection. The advantage is the ability to leverage a secure connection to transfer files and traverse the filesystem on both the local and remote system. SFTP is preferable to FTP because of its underlying security features and ability to piggy-back on an SSH connection. Furthermore, SFTP needs only a single port number for all SFTP communications, making it easy to secure.


Public Key Fingerprint 

SFTP supports server fingerprint as an optional security feature. Our implementation requires the key to be in MD5 format.


Your server’s fingerprint can be obtained with the following console command:

ssh-keygen -lf /path/to/public_key/pubkey_in_openssh_format.pub


A remote server’s fingerprint can be obtained like so:

ssh-keyscan -t rsa ftp.host.com > key.pub
ssh-keygen -l -f key.pub -E md5

Google Cloud Storage (GCS)

Google Cloud Storage is the object storage service offered by Google Cloud. In Cloud Storage, different objects are grouped in unique “namespaces” called buckets. A bucket can hold multiple objects yet, a single object will belong to only one bucket.


Client Configuration

The client must configure its destination storage bucket, using a Service Account provided by Booxi. A destination folder must be created as files can’t be saved on the root. Contact your Account Manager or CS to request an account. 


We recommend configuring the storage bucket with the following settings.

  • Region: Can either be Multi-Region or Region specific
  • Storage Class: Standard
  • Public Access: NOT Public
  • Access Control: Uniform
  • Protection: Activate one or more of the following protection options: Object Versioning Retention Policy or Default Event-Based Hold Option.
  • Life Cycle rules: Weekly data deletion
  • Requesters Pay: OFF
  • Permissions: storage.buckets.get and storage.objects.create

The permissions above are included into the below roles:

  • Storage Legacy Bucket Reader
    • Needed to read the metadata and the permissions on the bucket.
  • Storage Object Creator
    • Needed to write the file blob.

Storage Directory

The client can specify in what “destination folder” reports will be exported. Folders and sub-folders must be formatted as : 'level1/level2/'. Leading '/' is unnecessary unless a root '/' folder is needed.


Furthermore, the storage directory must follow the below naming guidelines as provided by Google:

  • Object names can contain any sequence of valid Unicode characters, of length 1-1024 bytes when UTF-8 encoded.
  • Object names cannot contain Carriage Return or Line Feed characters.
  • Object names cannot start with .well-known/acme-challenge/.
  • Objects cannot be named . or ...

For further information about the naming guidelines, please consult this article.
