Enhancements

Implemented a new landing page for Advanced Analytics reports:
- Added new tabs on the top navigation bar. Reports display in the appropriate categories (e.g., Revenue, Inventory).
- Added an arrow icon that allows users to sort reports alphabetically by name.
- Added the ‘i’ icon to the most commonly used reports. Click the ‘i’ icon to view additional details about the data found in the report.
- Added a ‘Recently Synced’ tab, reports which are refreshed with data several times a day display in this section. Reports in the ‘Recently Synced’ tab only contain data for the previous three days. The reports in the other tabs refresh every night, so the data in those reports reflects the previous day’s sales, but the reports include several months worth of data.
