Go to Returns dashboard in your AfterShip Returns admin.

You can view the total number of return requests raised by the customer during the defined period.
Each RMA will be mentioned and hyperlinked to view its details page on a new window.
The current return status of each RMA can be determined at a glance.

The easily accessible RMA data is a helpful tool in determining whether there are genuine concerns regarding the quality and service of your brand or whether the customer is following a specific pattern in raising these return requests for personal gains. You can proceed to treat the request as you deem fit based on your analysis.
