Generating YSL Reports in Voyager Service Manager

All YSL reports that are generated in Voyager Service Manager (whether you designed the report with YSL Classic or YSL.Net) require an associated Yardi script file from which to run a filter.

The time required to generate a YSL report is based on several factors. If it is run as a YSL.Net report, it generates as much as 15 times faster than a YSL Classic report. Any YSL report with the following criteria takes longer to generate:

c	A YSL report that selects large property lists from the filter.

c	A YSL report whose design includes many YSL function cells.

c	A YSL report whose design includes the replication of templates via Multiple Sheets By Property or By Date, which are then run against large property counts or wide date ranges.

Simple reports run in YSL.Net should be available for review within seconds.

You can continue working in Voyager while Voyager generates your YSL report.

YSL.Net reports to be generated though Service Manager require Voyager 6.0.08.22 Service Manager Plug-In 5.1 or later. Earlier versions of Service Manager always generate YSL reports as YSL Classic reports.

A generated YSL report can be distributed to, opened, and read by any person in your organization who has Excel.

To generate a YSL report through Voyager Service Manager

1	Organize the YSL report. For more information, see “YSL Report Organization in Voyager: YSL.Net”.

You must clear the Run as YSL Classic check box if you want the YSL report to generate via the YSL.Net report generating engine. If you select this check box, you are confirming that the associated script design does not comply with YSL standards and consequently must be generated through the YSL Classic report generating engine.

2	From any Voyager menu set, select Reports > SQL Reports. The Report Titles screen appears.

The Report Titles section shows the Yardi scripts that exist in the reports path whose names match the SQL Reports Prefixes established though the setup of Accounts and Options. For more information, see Voyager Accounts and Options in the Yardi Voyager Core Setup Guide.

3	Select a YSL report and click Submit. The associated filter appears.

4	Complete the fields, as needed.

5	If you set the Destination field to an email distribution, click the Advanced button and ensure that the appropriate email address is set up for the recipient.

6	If you set the Destination field to save to an .xls file, the generated YSL report is available from the Conductor Report Monitor dialog. You can open and review the file in Excel.

7	If you set the Destination field to save to a .pdf file, you can open and review the YSL report after it is generated into an Adobe .pdf file.

8	Click Submit.
