In short

How do I get a daily occupancy and vacancy report by hall?

Every night, WebRun opens StarRez and counts occupied, vacant, and offline beds for every hall, broken out by room type, then logs the snapshot to a tracking sheet alongside the change from the day before. It posts the full occupancy report to your housing ops team on Telegram, ranked by vacancy count, so staff know exactly where to focus the next morning.

  • Housing ops opens Telegram to tonight's occupancy numbers before the morning huddle
  • Vacancies are broken out by room type, not just a single campus-wide number
  • Halls with the most vacancies are ranked first so staff focus where it matters

Questions, answered

How current is the occupancy count?

It reflects live StarRez data at the time WebRun runs each night, so the report matches whatever checkouts, cancellations, and assignments were recorded that day.

Does it break vacancies down by room type?

Yes. Each hall's vacancy count is split by room type, single, double, and suite, so ops can see exactly what kind of space is sitting open.

Can it flag a hall that's over capacity?

It reports the occupancy rate for every hall each night, so an over-capacity hall shows up in the same report as a high number rather than needing a separate check.

Put this on autopilot.
