Folder and File Organization of Transferred Reports

Reports are transferred using a folder directory structure starting with the Property Management Company the property has been listed under, then a folder for the Property Name. All reports which have been enabled for that property are transferred to that directory.

Folder Structure:

  • Root-Directory/Property-Management-Company/Property-Name/All-Reports.csv

Automatic reports can have a custom file name that can help you identify the property and the reporting date range.
