Steps for designing Analytic Report in Ginesys POS
Configure Ginesys WebAPI from Ginesys Web > Retail Management > Utilities > Configure > WebAPI and send it to Store via sync.
Go to the system where Ginesys POS is installed & open Analytics.exe from Ginesys POS installation folder (...\Program Files (x86)\GSL\GINESYS POS).
Login with POS user (this user must have access to configure Analytic Report module, a new operation 'Configure' has been added under Back Office > Analytic Report).
Here users can View report, modify it by adding columns, calculative fields and save it.
The report template will not save locally, it will directly save in HO via API.
User also can Delete, Export, Import reports the same way it was done in HO.
User has to assign these reports from HO Allocation Group to each POS (including the POS where it was created) to view it.

Phase 2
Starting October 1, 2022, POS Analytic Reports will stop running at HO. Continued access to the POS Analytic Reports means that on-premise customers would have to procure and setup a static IP at the HO for allowing REST API based access from POS.
Note: Access to Ginesys HO application via static IP will be used extensively in future for many more features in Ginesys POS.
Alternate way for moving designed Analytic Reports from POS Store to HO without static IP
After Ginesys removes Analytic Report design in HO, some on premise customers may still miss the deadline to procure and configure static IP based access and they would not be able to save the reports directly to HO repository. They would have to follow the below mentioned steps to export the designed analytic reports from Ginesys POS, move the files to HO via email or any other methods (e.g. Google drive) and import them into HO repository.
Steps for exporting Analytic Report from Store and import into HO
Open Analytics.exe from Ginesys POS installation folder (...\Program Files (x86)\GSL\GINESYS POS)
Login with POS user (user must have access to configure Analytic Report module, a new operation 'Configure' has been added under Back Office > Analytic Report)
Select a report & click on 'Extract' button
Select Layout folder & click on 'OK'
Transfer that file to HO (via email attachment, file transfer etc.)
Now, open Analytical Reports at HO
Login with HO user
Click on Import
Select Layout folder, then select the report & click on 'Import' button
