Managing Shift Reports

Shift Reports are a selection of reports to generate in a batch process.  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 and output as a single file.

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