Using Power Reports to view expired/expiring certificates

While expired/expiring certificates can be accessed via the Property Management panel on the Organiser (as outlined above), you may prefer to run a report to get this information

Running a report allows other property or tenancy criteria to be included, plus the information can also be exported (e.g. to Excel)

You can use the screenshots to build the report yourself - alternatively, use the .rrd files included below to export the report criteria directly into Reapit

Report on expired certificates

  • This report returns lettings properties with a certificate that has expired, providing today’s date is entered in the End Date field

  • Extra criteria has been added to this report which ensures that properties returned:

    • are not external

    • have a gas supply

    • are from the current office
      The Lettings Status field can also be completed to filter properties by status

Report on certificates about to expire

  • This report returns lettings properties with a certificate that will expire in the next 14 days

  • Extra criteria has been added to this report which ensures that properties returned:

    • are not external

    • have a gas supply

    • are from the current office
      The Lettings Status field can also be completed to filter properties by status

Download the reports directly into Reapit

  • Click the required .rrd file on right

  • Click Download and choose a place to store it on your PC/laptop

  • See the Power Reports library for instructions on how to import the file into Reapit

Print/export options

After clicking Run Report:

  • Report results are shown in a grid, see step 3 of the previous section for information on using grid features

  • Click Print for print and export options
    e.g. to export the list to Excel, click MS Excel and Proceed
