Adding Columns

Many Revenue reports are user-configurable, which means that you determine what the report is called, what the column headers are, and what data is displayed on the report. By using the Save Report Views feature you can run a report with several different configurations without having to go through the configuration process for each report variation every time you wish to run the report(s).

The following reports are user-configurable:

  • Management - Flash Recap
  • Other - Line Detail Report
  • Other - Room Trends Report

After you have configured the columns, you have several choices:

  • Run the report.
  • Save the configuration as a View
  • Edit the configuration (add/delete columns, re-order the columns, re-name the report, etc.) and either run the report or save the edited configuration as a new View.
