This page is about the menu REPORTS

If you need a report that is not here please let us know, we will attempt to add any reasonable report type.

If you have more than one property you can select whether you want to run a report for one property or for all.

After you have selected the time period click on one of the report buttons to generate the report.

If you want to limit the report to certain rooms you can add a rooms parameter to the end of the report URL in the browser.

The rooms parameter can contain one room id or a comma separated list of room id's

For example adding &rooms=1000,1001 to the reports URL will cause the report to show only room id's 1000 and 1001.

If you use info codes in booking you can use these to show or hide selected bookings.

For example, if you use the code "CHECKEDIN" when guests check in and "CHECKEDOUT" when guests check out, you could create a custom reports to show custom reports by showing booking which include the info code "CHECKEDIN" and excluding those that have the info code "CHECKEDOUT".

The "Room Template" columns show the content added in SETTINGS-PROPERTIES-ROOMS-SETUP under "Room Template". These fields can contain template varialbles and also math variables which allows you to use these colums for custom calculations.
