Please find below the step-by-step procedure on how to generate the CSV files, which we need to send to GHS on a daily basis. There are 3 kinds of files that we need to generate daily from epitome (HIS) after the night audit process, these are: 1.
R1 file = Daily Check-in report
2. P1 file = Daily Check-out report 3. X1 file = Future Arrivals report When creating the files, please follow the filename format [PMS name] + [Report Type] + [Date and Time when the report was generated in the form of YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.csv Example:
For the Daily Check-in file generated on June 16, 2014 at around 3:15am, the filename would be epitome-R1-2014-06-16-03-15.csv
Step 1: Open the “Report Runner Viewer”

Step 5: Click the “Export the Report” button.
Step 6: 1. Select “Comma Separate Values – All (Isolate)” 1. Click the “Browse” for the location of the file to be extracted. 2. Click “Export and Open” or “Export” only.
Note: Don’t forget to follow the CSV file naming format described on the first page of this manual. Ex. Epitome-R1-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS or Epitome-R1-2014-06-10-03-35-00.csv Where R1 is the report type, which is the Daily Check-in Report. Replace the report type with P1 if the file is for Daily Check-out and X1 if it’s the Future Arrival Report.
The content of the extracted CSV file will look something like this.
