If you have any existing scheduled exports with a delivery method of Dropbox, and you fail to receive exports, please remove the old Dropbox account from Settings > Hotel & Staff > Dropbox and create a new Dropbox account.

 

 

Once you've selected a delivery method, you can click CREATE SCHEDULE to begin receiving the scheduled export.

 

 

The scheduled export will appear in your list of scheduled exports from Reports > Schedule a Report/Export > Scheduled Exports. You can also click on the scheduled export and then select RUN NOW to have the report delivered to your delivery method now.

 


 

The scheduled export you receive to the selected delivery method will be in CSV format and will look something like the below screenshot depending on the parameters set.
