# Service summary
## Introduction
The **summary** tab shows high-level information about how the service is performing. The tab is split into two panes - [daily transactions](#daily-transactions) (see 1 below), followed by a [sync list](#sync-list) (see 2 below).
## Daily transactions
The **daily transactions** pane displays a chart showing transactions for the defined time period. Hover your cursor over any point on the chart for details - for example:
{% hint style="info" %}
**What is a transaction?**
A transaction occurs whenever Patchworks pulls an entity (e.g. an order, refund, product or stock level) from a source system and subsequently pushes it to a destination system.
{% endhint %}
To set a time period for data shown on this chart, click the date picker:
\
Then click your starting date and move your cursor right/left to select the ending date - for example:
## Sync list
The **sync list** shows summary information for every sync (i.e. service run) that has started in the last 24 hours - for example:
You can use the search field (see 1 above) to find a particular sync entry by its **sync id**. You can also see the current status (see 2 above) and click the ellipsis (see 3 above) to access more detailed [logs](/product-documentation/patchworks-services/reporting-and-logging/service-sync-logs.md).
