Managing Reports

On provisioning of your property, all standard OPERA Cloud reports are loaded into their respective report groups. These reports are detailed in the reports description section, for more information, see Report Descriptions.

You can also configure additional instances of these reports to suit your needs by duplicating the report and pre-selecting the search criteria, the column display options and layout options (group-by and/or sort-order) for the report and giving your report a unique report name. For example, the standard Arrival Report - res_detail, Arrival Report can be configured multiple times in the Arrival Reports report group with various filters, sort order and column selections selected. You could have an Arrivals by Name, Arrivals - VIP Only by Name, Arrivals by ETA (Time) reports - all of which generate the same RES_DETAIL arrival report, but with different parameters preset for search criteria, display and layout options. Date fields display an 'offset' field, supporting the setup of a calculated date +/- from the business date.

When the Multi Property OPERA Control is active, you can copy reports and stationery templates to other properties. For more information, see Copying Reports to Multiple Properties.

When the Report Scheduler OPERA Control is active, you can schedule report to generate. For more information, see Managing Scheduled Reports

You can also add reports to shift (batch) reports. For more information, see Managing Shift Reports
