In this video you will learn how to create  and manage a scheduled report. Using the

00:10

report scheduler you can schedule reports to  automatically generate at a specific time interval

00:15

and frequency to selected destinations. Let's get  started. In OPERA cloud go to reports and then

00:21

select manage reports. In this example, I select  arrival from the report group drop down list

00:27

and then click search. Now I select the arrivals  detailed report from the list and then click the

00:33

vertical ellipsis and select schedule report. Next  I step through the process to configure the report

00:39

parameters, the time intervals, and the report  destination. I can configure the schedule to

00:45

dynamically calculate the arrival date for the  report. In this example, to schedule the report

00:50

to generate with tomorrow's arrivals I select  the business date from the activity date range

00:55

options and then click plus one. Now I can see  the validate date option displays the date range

01:00

configured for this report. In this example, the  report runs today and generates for tomorrow's

01:05

date. Next, select any search criteria or  options to configure what outputs on the

01:10

report. In this example, room number is selected.  Next I can use the arrows to select the sort order

01:17

and then click next. Now I can define the report  intervals including the start date and time

01:23

and how often the report repeats. To set the  report schedule to run indefinitely do not select

01:28

an end date. In this example I select repeat and  one day intervals and then I set the time to 12 pm.

01:36

Then click next. Now the report is scheduled  to run every day at 12 pm. To define the

01:43

report destination I change the file name  to arrivals report and I select a file type

01:49

from the drop-down list. In this example I select  pdf, then click new. From the mode drop-down list

01:57

I can select to email, print or post the  pdf to an ftp server by selecting sftp.

02:04

In this example, I select to email the report in  pdf format. Then I enter the recipient's email

02:11

address and click save. Now I click manage  scheduled reports to see a list of all the

02:17

scheduled reports including the scheduled report  I just created. I can pause the report schedule

02:23

by turning the reported scheduled toggle off. Now  I can click the vertical ellipsis to edit, delete,

02:29

or view the report destinations, or I can choose to  run the report right now. Then click ok to confirm.
