How to Set Up Automated Night Audit Reporting
To set up automated night audit reporting for your property, navigate to Reports > Schedule a Report/Export. Under Scheduled Reports, you have the option to choose + NEW REPORT SCHEDULE on the top right corner of the screen. Upon doing so, you'll see a list of all available reports that you can choose to schedule.
All reports will have different options and parameters you can choose, and you can select these depending on the criteria required for the specific report. Different reports will come in different formats, and you can choose these based on the need. For most reports, you'll want to choose Run During EOD from the REPEATS dropdown field. In the ADD RECIPIENT field, you can enter an email address and hit enter on your keyboard to have it accepted into the system. You can also begin typing in the name of an existing user within Stayntouch PMS and hit enter to select that user. More than one email address can be entered if required. Please note, the email address will copy from the previously entered email address.
