Custom Exports

Modified on: Thu, 15 Jun, 2023 at 8:22 AM

Applies to:          Stayntouch PMS          

Custom Exports


You create customized exports in Stayntouch PMS from Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Custom Exports. Please note, in order for a user to have access to custom exports, they need to be assigned the Export Reports permission from Settings > Hotel & Staff > Permissions.



Once on the Custom Exports page, you will be able to create a custom export by selecting the +NEW EXPORT button. Custom exports can then be configured by choosing from the available options. Once an option is selected, the available fields for this option will be available for selection to be included in the export. Below are the available options:

 

The Allotment option contains allotment related data fields and will export one row per allotment record.

 

The Company option contains company related data fields and will export one row per company record.

 

The Financial Transaction option contains financial transactions related data fields and will export one row per financial transaction.

 

The Group option contains group related data fields and will export one row per group record.

 

The Guests option contains guest related data fields and will export one row per guest record.

 

The Reservation option contains reservation related data fields and will export one row per reservation record.

 

The Stays option contains stay related data fields and will export one row per stay date.

 

The Travel Agent option contains travel agent related data fields and will export one row per travel agent record.



You can name your export by entering an EXPORT NAME at the bottom of the screen and selecting SAVE EXPORT. The naming convention is up to whoever creates the exports. There is a technical limitation of 255 characters in this field; however, we recommend not maxing out this limitation, as the name will display on the configured exports list and will be used as the file name when the CSV is created, therefore making longer names impractical. Other than that, custom exports can be named freely, as they were designed so that if there are multiple exports configured using the same option, you can differentiate between the various exports. Please note, we have updated the custom export naming convention so that you cannot use a forward slash (/) in the export name.

 

Stayntouch PMS will also prompt you to SELECT OUTPUT FORMAT as either CSV, XML, or JSON format.
