Use this page to create and manage the Client Activity Report.
The Client Activity Report provides quick, concise reporting of the activity within a community across all major areas of management and accounting. The CAR feature allows you to create a consistent look and content across all communities, to include report Subscriptions, Owner notes and documents, Work Orders, Resident Requests and even outside reporting such Attorney collection reports. All of this can then be uploaded to the Portal to allow Board members the opportunity to review the report prior to meetings and refer to it during meetings.
Prior to running the Client Activity Report for the first time, some set up is required.
Report Formatting- Make formatting changes and add a logo to the report, if needed.
CAR Template - The template is the primary structure of the report.
CAR Sections - Sections are used to create categories in the report to make it easier to compile and navigate. Sections are assigned to every Association that may need to use them when created, but can be deleted when the report is compiled.
NOTE- When a new template is created, all assigned sections will appear on the new template.
