Improve Communication with Property & Parent Logbooks
If you have multiple businesses not only can you easily toggle between businesses in the Logbook but you can also set up a parent or property Logbook.
What is the difference between a Property and Parent Logbook
The Parent logbook is an overarching logbook for every business that you have in Avero. A property logbook is designed to group all businesses for a single property for a hotel or Casino, as identified by the Property (Standard) attribute.
A parent logbook will not include the weather snapshot as it contains businesses with different physical addresses. A property logbook will include a data snapshot with all included businesses' data. A parent logbook will not include a data snapshot.
Property Logbook
Why Create a Property Logbook?
- Property-level insights and communication
- Total Sales for all venues at a Property at a glance
Looking for custom property-level sales reporting - Snapshot data is not customizable and is limited to the standard sales figures available by default. If you are looking for additional metrics or reporting such as category sales breakdown, consider setting up Automated Emailed Reports or Designing a Property Dashboard.
Who Can View the Property Logbook
If you have access to all the businesses for the group in Avero, in Logbook Management you will see a Property Logbook option in addition to Logbooks for the single businesses.
Note that users need access to all of the businesses within a Property to access the Property Logbook.
How Can I Setup a Property Logbook
Property codes (via the Property (Standard) attribute are initialisms used to group multiple businesses together, say you are a hotel with businesses for In Room Dining, Lobby Bar, Banquets, and 2 Restaurants, all united by a property code like "TAH". Each business appears prepended with this property code, such as TAH - In Room Dining, or similar. This is called the Property(Standard) attribute and is created and managed by Avero.
Once businesses are grouped as a Property (must use Property Code designation, even if that doesn't quite describe your organization) you can assign a Logbook template for that property and manage the fields and Snapshot filters the same as you would for a business Logbook.
To set up your desired property logbook:
- Go to your Settings menu and select Logbook Setup (note, this requires a special role that you have access to, if you want to delegate this to another user, make sure they have the special role of Logbook)
- Property logbooks are automatically available alongside outlet logbooks, you'll simply toggle the Property logbook Active switch to ON
- Assign a template.
- You can use any template you like, and add text/notes fields and check boxes as you wish. If you add several sections, you can filter the revenue shown in them, but make sure your top snapshot is set to ALL to show all revenue.
