What is the difference between a report and a print?+
A report is a table over the catalog: pick fields, filter, group, export. A print is a page layout for paper or PDF, built for the venue walk and the kitchen. Both read the same live record.
Can I build a report once and reuse it?+
Yes. Saved reports live with the event and come along when the event is duplicated, so next year’s vendor grid is a click.
Can the venue get a BEO-style document?+
Yes. BEO-ready prints come out in the layout a hotel expects, generated from the functions, with service charge and tax shown the way the hotel will bill.
How do I get numbers to finance?+
Export the report grouped by cost center or GL code to Excel or CSV. Reconciliation reads the same lines, so the export and the close-out agree.
Does the dashboard update on its own?+
Yes. A count changed on the board, a menu swapped on a function or a record moved to booked shows in the widgets without a refresh, for everyone who can see it.
Can a report include revenue?+
Yes. Revenue fields are in the catalog, so a report can put booked and pipeline revenue beside the spend for the same functions.
