What is 'category rollup'?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to organize my reports. 

What is "Category rollup" ? Is it another column in my items library that I missed?

Hello!

 

I reached out to our Product Specialist that specializes in dashboard reporting about this. We were testing a new feature that accidentally became visible for some sellers outside the test. That's all I can share right now. 🙂

Hey @Savianaarts

 

Could you share where you're seeing "Category rollup" on your reports? I tried searching around my reports, but couldn't find it.

@Chad I saw the "Category Rollup" column on some of my tests of Custom Reports about a week ago, but I'm not able to get that column to show now. I wonder if the dev team was playing with something...

Interesting @ryanwanner

 

I couldn't find anything about this column for custom reports in our documentation. Let me know if you see it again or your able to snag a screen shot of it. 🙂

It's under "Item Sales":

I would also like to know what this refers to.

 

Thanks!

We enjoyed having accidental access to this feature, which stayed available until a couple of weeks ago. It seemed to work slick; any chance this will be rolled out for real soon?

@blacklanternvt thanks so much for reaching out about this. I reached out to our engineering team to see what all is going down - this feature is only available in the Square for Restaurants subscription, so if you were subscribed to that and unsubscribed sometime in the last few weeks, then that would explain why your category rollups were gone. 

 

If you want to have this feature again, you will need to subscribe again. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂

Thanks for the reply. We did try Square for Restaurants last year, but dropped it in February of last year. We enjoyed it while it lasted!  Would love to see category rollup and cover counts added to square regular; those were the two features we found most useful.
