Enable Report Column User Customization
Beyond the availability of filters, or as incremental filter functionality, users should be enabled to remove data columns from report when the data in the column is irrelevant to the property or the user. My hotel doesn't track data by bed but this information takes up space in a report for columns with zeros. When I deselect filter options, the column still shows in the report with zeros. Like standard Excel spreadsheets, it should be possible to drop/drag columns within the report and remove columns so print attempts don't generate unusable reports. The Reservation report, for example, has so many unused columns that the Notes column which I truly use is compressed to a very thin column of tall rows, many of which are cropped at the right edge of the printed report. The Occupancy report has valuable data but sometimes I just need select rows from the report and not all of the rows, but I have no choice in this matter other than just scrolling and looking past the data I don't need at certain times. Seems like the user experience of what is produced isn't evaluated by someone who uses the reports in real time instead of just in a test environment. The all or none approach is not user-friendly or 21st Century.
