For operators with more than one facility, it is essential to be able to see all of your facilities' data with one click of a button. The Corporate Reports section of storEDGE offers users that functionality.

Within this section of the software you will find the most popular reports from the Reports Tab for each of your facilities. The difference you'll see at the Corporate level is that you can run corporate-level reports for all of your facilities or for the facility groups that you have created. You can also schedule reports to run on a daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.

This article will instruct you on:

• Running reports
• Scheduling reports - considerations
• Scheduling customized report batches
• Viewing reports
• Adjusting user permissions for Corporate reports

Running Reports

To run corporate-level reports for all of your facilities or a group of facilities, follow these steps:

1.  When you are logged into one of your facilities, click on the Corporate button in the blue navigation bar.

2.  Click on the pie chart icon on the left side of the screen to navigate to the Reports section.

3.  The default tab is the Running Reports section. From here, choose the type of report you’d like to run from either the Financial, Insurance, Management, Merchandise or Occupancy groups.

4.  Within the report groups, choose the report you’d like to run.

5.  If a date or date range is required, you will need to enter that in the fields provided prior to generating the report.

Please note: Weekly reports will be generated for the previous week, ending on Saturday; not for the week ending on the day you run the report.

6.  Choose from the dropdown whether you would like to run the report for All Facilities or from a group you have created.

7.  Click Generate Report or Email Report.

• If you email the report and the setting to view emailed reports without logging into storEDGE is enabled, you can choose whether the report can be viewed without logging in.

• If you generate the report, you can view or export it. Your report will open in a new browser tab. 

Scheduling Reports 

The report scheduler function within your Corporate Reports section is a simple tool that allows you to schedule email delivery of specific reports to specified recipients. These reports can be run for all of your facilities, for specific groups of your facilities, or for a single facility.

Please note: Weekly reports will be generated for the previous week, ending on Saturday; not for the week ending on the day the report is delivered.

You can schedule reports to be emailed to as many recipients as you choose. The first thing you might want to consider is who you’d like to be able to view your scheduled reports. If you enable the setting to view emailed reports without logging into storEDGE, anyone with the link can view the reports. If this setting is not enabled, recipients will need to log into storEDGE.

Scheduling customized report batches

To schedule a group of reports to be sent, access the Reports tab in the Corporate section of your software and access the Scheduled Reports tab. Then, select New Scheduled Report(s).

The next page will allow you to name your report group, select the reports you want in this group, and schedule the frequency that your report group will be sent.

After you’ve named your report group under Group Name and selected the frequency at which you’d like these reports to be sent, select the reports you want to include in this group by expanding the report categories and checking the boxes next to your desired reports. You can also select the file format in which you'd like to view these reports and choose the style. For style, you can choose for the reports to populate per facility or per company.

Next, in the Select Facilities section, select whether you’d like reports to be generated for all facilities, a particular facility group, or a single facility.

If you’d like to generate reports for for just one facility group, select Facility Group and then select the group of your choosing. You can learn more about facility groups on our help site.

If you’d like to generate reports for just one facility, select the button next to Facility, then select the facility for which you’d like to generate reports.

 

The next step is to select your report recipients. To select recipients, select Select Recipients to expand the section. All users with a login to storEDGE within your company will be populated in this section.

You can filter recipients by role by selecting Filter by Roles and choosing the software role that defines the users that you’d like to receive your reports. 

Next, select the users that you’d like to receive the report bundle by selecting the boxes next to their names.

⚠ We understand that the security of your facility data is important. All users are populated in the recipient list. You will need to be mindful of the recipients you choose as they will be able to view any report they receive, even if their user permissions allow them to only see data for specific facilities or facility groups.

⚠ In order to view or schedule reports in the Corporate section of your software, you’ll need to adjust user permissions for Corporate reports.

Viewing emailed reports

Your report recipients will receive an email with a link to scheduled or ad hoc generated reports. When multiple reports are included in the report group, the link will allow the recipient to download a zip file containing all the group's reports. To open reports, click the link in the email to download reports. By default, you must log into the software to view the reports. 

View reports without logging into storEDGE

If you’d prefer, you can allow scheduled reports to be viewed directly from the link in the notification email without needing to log into storEDGE by following the instructions below.

Please note: In order to edit this setting, you must have permission to Manage Report Settings.

Enable the setting

You can enable the setting from Corporate Reports > Report Settings.

Select Yes under Enable viewing of reports without logging into storEDGE and click Save. This setting will apply to scheduled reports and ad hoc emailed reports, but can be enabled or disabled for individual reports.

Please note: If this setting is enabled, anyone with the link to the report can view it. Reports may contain financial and personally identifiable information (PII).

Choose scheduled reports to be viewed without logging in

The setting can be enabled or disabled for individual reports from the Scheduled Reports tab. Click Edit for the report you wish to change.

Select Yes under Enable viewing of scheduled reports without logging into storEDGE. Click Save.

Please note: If this setting is enabled, anyone with the link to the report can view it. Reports may contain financial and personally identifiable information (PII).

Accessing reports from the notification email

If the setting to allow viewing reports without logging into storEDGE is enabled, recipients can open reports by simply clicking the link in the scheduled report email. For security purposes, the link will expire one week after the email is sent. After that time, the link will direct the recipient to the storEDGE login page to view the report.

If the setting to allow viewing reports without logging into storEDGE is not enabled, the recipient will be prompted to log into storEDGE before they can view the report.

If you are viewing reports for multiple facilities, you’ll receive a separate document for each report. This file will contain multiple individual reports, showing one facility per page, and the report will show a column for each facility. For example, if you have a group of weekly reports scheduled which includes the Fees Waived report and the Aging report for three facilities, your zip file will contain two documents:

• Fees Waived: This document will contain an individual Fees Waived report for each facility and then a report with data for all three facilities.
  
  
• Aging report: This document will contain an individual Aging report for each facility and then a report with data for all three facilities.

Adjusting user permissions for Corporate reports

To give a storEDGE user access to view and schedule reports, access your Corporate settings and select Roles.

Find the role you’d like to allow use of the report scheduler, and select Edit to edit their role.

View Corporate reports

Under the Corporate permissions section, check the box next to View corporate reports. Then, select Save. This permission must be granted to anyone who is set up to receive a scheduled report.

 

✅ If you have investors or other interested parties that either do not need access to the rest of your software data, or you don’t want them to have access to the rest of your software data, create a role specifically for these users and ensure that all permissions are deselected for that role. This will ensure that they can’t perform other software functions, but they will still be able to view scheduled reports when they receive them via email.

Manage report settings

To grant permission to manage report settings and make changes to the view reports without logging into storEDGE setting, check the box next to Manage report settings.

⚠ On rare occasions, some or all reports may fail and not be generated. If a report fails to generate, your recipients will still receive an email alerting them of the issue and providing them with a link to the Corporate Reports section of your software where they can run the reports they need.
