Custom-Reports
This page is about the menu REPORTS > CUSTOM REPORTS
General[editar]
You can create your own custom reports based on the criteria you want to extract.
For the other settings please use the context help for each setting.
Set up[editar]
1. Create a custom report
- Enter a "Report Title" which is the name under which the report will be stored.
- Adjust the other criteria
- Drag the items you want to the left side and the one you do not want to the right then SAVE. If will now be always available.
- The setting for "Layout" defines how the bookings which are included in the report will be displayed.
2. Generate a preset custom report
- Use the selector to choose a report
- If required adjust the criteria e.g. dates
- If you want to use a custom report on the dashboard set it "Layout" = tabular.
Dates can be restricted by check-in, check-out and booking date. If multiple restrictions are applied they all apply to filter the shown bookings. The relative month restrictions like "this month", "last month" etc restrict from the first day of the month to the last day of the month respectively when used as FROM and TO restrictions.
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 variables and also math variables which allows you to use these colums for custom calculations.
There can be problems exporting data to Excel or CSV in some browsers including Internet Explorer/Edge, it works well with Chrome and Firefox. Problems also occur with Chrome and MAC.
If you want to generate a report by invoice number you need to set "Status" = "Invoice number assigned".
Graphs and Charts[editar]
Under "Layout" you can choose to show a graph or chart. If you want to use this option what is set to "Sort by" defines what is shown horizontally.
- Each column that can have a "Total" can show as a graph.
- The monthly bar graph requires a date to be selected in "Sort by". This will be used to assign the bookings to the bars.
- For a pie chart you only need the column "Quantity" or a charges/payments/price column. A pie chart will be drawn by what is set to "Sort by" by a number of bookings or value.
Template variables in Custom Reports[editar]
The columns "Property Template" and "Room Template" will show the content you have entered in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->DESCRIPTION / SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SETUP. These fields support template variables. If you enter template variables there the report will show the corresponding value from the booking. You can also use math variables to calculate values from the booking.
Dashboard Reports[editar]
To show custom reports on the Dashboard, build the report in REPORTS->CUSTOM REPORTS, update the report name and "Layout" = Tabular.
Then go to Dashboard and in Components add the Custom report number to your Dashboard.

List room charges and extras individually tallied or in groups[editar]
1.) Create meaningful identifiers for your charges groups. For example:
