Reports > Manage Report Package
A Report Package allows multiple reports to be generated and grouped together into a single report. It can be generated on an as-needed basis, or scheduled for automatic production. Multiple report packages can be created and scheduled at different times, if needed, to meet the unique reporting requirement of your company and/or communities. Additionally, reports packages can be associated with User profiles to further enable customization.
Report package examples:
- Monthly board packet
- Weekly accounting reports sent to accounting lead
- Daily package of needed setup items
