# Network Monitoring Report

## Use Case

Using this report, you can understand which countries or shops returns tend to come from and the lifetime of returns from order placement until arrival back in the warehouse. From the data, you can identify if your return rate is caused by bad practices from customers or is intrinsic to your processes. This can be deduced from the percentage of returns due to bracketing and orders that are returned in full.

## <code class="expression">space.vars.Report\_RINetworkMonitoring</code> Report Features

The top-level row shows the core metrics of this report and the date the report was last refreshed above it. This gives you an overview of the return rate and the number of parcels and items returned for the current period. It can be compared against a fixed previous period, which is based on the current period selected (for example: if the current period selected is 30 days, then the previous period used will be the previous 30 days from the current period).
