How do I create a custom Report?

Creating your own Reports is another feature of our Web Portal, allowing you to create new reports from scratch or by adding on to the existing Property Reports. To start this process select “New Report” and select how you would like to create this report; either “Start from an existing template” or “Start from scratch.”

1. Start from an existing template

This option will ask you to select an existing report to build off of. Once you’ve selected what report you’d like to work off of the system will create the report and populate the data for the existing part of the report. You can then select the “+” in the top right of the table to add columns:

Selecting “Start from scratch” will open a box for you to name your report and then gives an option to add columns:
