Reports - Campground Space Assignments Report

Written by Andy Hornbeak

Guests get moved. A rig is shifted to a longer space, relocated away from a flooded loop, or leaves the park for a fortnight while keeping its site. Each of those events is recorded in Sharper as a space assignment, and the Campground Space Assignments report is the history of them — which rig went where, when, and what space it came from.

This article assumes you already know the basics of the Sharper reporting module — the Name, Token, Subtotal, column picker, and filter fields. For a full walkthrough of the reporting form itself, see the Sharper Reporting Reference Guide. This article only covers the report.


Why This Report Matters

Where a rig is today is easy to see on the map. What is much harder to reconstruct afterwards is where a guest was last month, how many times they have been moved, or which spaces are being used as short-term holding. This report answers those, which makes it useful for:

  • Settling a guest query about being moved, with dates and spaces on record

  • Reviewing how often a particular space or loop is churning

  • Seeing which guests are away from the park but still holding their space

  • Reconstructing site history for an insurance or damage claim


The Three Assignment Types

Every row carries a Type, and it is one of three. Reading the report without this column is very difficult, so always include it.

Type

What Happened

Permanent Move

The rig was moved to a different space for the rest of its stay. The old space is released.

Temporary Move

The rig was moved to another space for a defined period and is expected back — typical during maintenance or flooding.

Temporary Departed

The rig has left the park entirely for a period but still holds its reservation and its space.

On a Temporary Departed row, Space Name is deliberately empty — the rig is not in a space at all, so there is no destination to name. A blank Space Name is not a data error, and filtering on Space Name will silently drop every temporary departure from your results. Use Previous Space Name to see the space the rig left from.


This Is History, Not Current Occupancy

Each row is a movement event with its own Start Date and End Date, so a rig moved three times produces three rows. A space with no movement history produces none at all, and vacant spaces do not appear — a space that has never had a rig moved into or out of it is simply absent.

If what you want is where every guest is right now, along with what each space is earning, use the Campground Rent Roll report instead — that one reports the park as it stands today and includes empty spaces.


Building a Space Assignments Report

  1. Go to Reports → Campground → Space Assignments in the left sidebar.

  2. If a shipped report is close to what you need, use the ⋯ menu → Copy first — shipped reports can only be edited by the Sharper team.

  3. Otherwise click + New and give it a Name, such as "Site Move History."

  4. Add the columns below, including Type.

  5. Turn on All Outlets if guests move between your parks.

  6. Click Save, then Get Report to run it.


Recommended Columns

Field

What It Shows

Type

Permanent Move, Temporary Move, or Temporary Departed — include it always

Start Date, End Date

The period this assignment covers. An empty End Date means it is still in effect.

Space Name, Space Description, Space Group Name

The space the rig moved to, and its loop. Empty on a Temporary Departed row.

Previous Space Name, Previous Space Group Name

The space the rig moved from — pair it with Space Name to read a move in one line

Vehicle Name, Vehicle License Plate Number

Which rig moved

Vehicle LOA, Vehicle Height

Length overall and height — the dimensions that determine which spaces a rig can be moved into

Customer Name, Cust Email, Cust Phone

Whose rig it is, and how to reach them about a move

Reservation Arrival Date, Reservation Departure Date

The stay the move belongs to

Checked In Date, Checked Out Date

When the guest actually arrived and left, as opposed to when they were booked to

Reservation Status, Reservation Custom Status

Where the underlying reservation stands

Reservation Reference

The booking reference to quote back to a guest

Cancellation Date, Cancellation Reason

Where the reservation behind the move was later cancelled

Product Name, Income Account

What is being billed for the stay, and the account its revenue posts to

Curr Price, Potential Price

The rate on the reservation — useful when a move to a premium space should have changed what the guest pays

Note: The Vehicles column group is shared with the marina side of Sharper, so you will also see Vehicle Beam, Vehicle Draft, and Vehicle Hull Color in the Available list. These are boat measurements and will normally be empty for RV records — leave them out.


Useful Filters

  • Guests currently away from the park: Field Type, set to Temporary Departed, and End Date set to is empty.

  • Permanent moves in a period: Field Type set to Permanent Move, and Start Date operator Between, covering the period.

  • Everything that happened to one space: Field Previous Space Name set to the space, in an Or group with Space Name set to the same space — this catches moves both in and out.

  • One guest's move history: Field Customer Name, set to the customer.

  • One loop's churn: Field Space Group Name, set to the group.

  • Moves still in effect: Field End Date, set to is empty.

The Temporary Departed filter is worth keeping as its own saved report — it is the fastest way to see which spaces are physically empty today even though they are paid for and cannot be re-let.
