Managing Shift Reports

Shift Reports are a grouping of reports; enabling you to generate multiple reports, in a batch process, by selecting the one shift report. For example, you may wish to configure 'Downtime Reports' for unplanned power or data outages - generating reports such as Arrivals, Inhouse, Departures, Housekeeping Room Status, Guest Ledger Balances etc. All reports selected for a Shift Report generate with the default parameters (filter, display options, sort order) configured on the report. See Configuring Reports.

When the Report Scheduler OPERA Control is active you can setup Shift Reports to auto-generate periodically. See Managing Scheduled Reports .
