Create Calendar Reports and CSV Exports
Open More Tools > Reports > Calendar. Court Report creates a PDF; Data Export creates a CSV. Choose up to 366 days and decide whether to include Calendar change history.
The Calendar Export & Reports screen creates either a PDF of your parenting schedule and calendar events or a CSV spreadsheet of Calendar data. Both formats use a date range of up to 366 days. Private Calendar records are supported; shared Calendar reports can also include recorded shared changes.
Open Calendar Export & Reports
- On Home, tap More Tools.
- Under Records, tap Reports.
- Tap Calendar.
The screen opens with the current month selected.
Generate a Calendar PDF
- Leave Court Report selected.
- Choose a Start Date and End Date covering no more than 366 days.
- Review Include Private Items. When shared and private records are available it starts off; when only your private records are available they are included automatically. If the shared Include history of changes option appears, turn it on to add recorded shared changes within the dates.
- Turn on Include Certificate of Authenticity if you want a verified cover page for review or court use.
- Tap Generate Report (PDF).
If BestInterest cannot determine your time zone, choose a saved time zone or continue in UTC when prompted. The PDF uses the selected time zone consistently.
Calendar PDFs show the available parenting schedule, events, and scheduled overnight totals for the selected range. A private-events-only report has no shared custody totals. Shared reports exclude your private events unless you enable Include Private Items. Reports never include your coparent’s private events. Scheduled parenting time records the plan, rather than establishing who actually exercised that time.
A report containing your private events can expose their titles, dates, locations, and descriptions to anyone you share the file with. It does not publish those events to your coparent inside the app.
Verified Reports require Connect. Connect includes up to 10 reports each month, including reports still generating; Protect removes that report cap. The app shows the applicable limit or upgrade screen before starting a report.
Export Calendar data to CSV
- Select Data Export.
- Choose a Start Date and End Date covering no more than 366 days.
- Review Include Private Items, and decide whether to include recorded shared Calendar changes when that option is available.
- Tap Export Data (CSV).
- Use your device’s share sheet to save or send the file. On supported web devices, the file downloads directly.
Calendar CSV export does not use the monthly Verified Report allowance.
Use Report History
PDF requests appear under Report History on the Calendar report screen.
- Generating means the server is preparing the file. You can leave the screen while it continues.
- Complete shows a download button.
- Failed means the file could not be generated.
Completed reports remain downloadable for 90 days. Deleting a Report History row permanently deletes that generated PDF. CSV exports open the share sheet immediately and do not create a Report History row.
If a report stays pending, fails, downloads without the expected records, or will not open the share sheet, see Why did my report or export fail.
For Calendar setup, subscriptions, exchange locations, and shared Calendar controls, see Parenting Calendar settings.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Court Report and Data Export?
Court Report creates a PDF of the parenting schedule and calendar events. Data Export creates a CSV spreadsheet for sorting or record-keeping.
Can a Calendar report prove who actually exercised parenting time?
No. The report shows scheduled parenting time and calendar records. Scheduled time does not confirm what happened in practice.
Does the Calendar report include private events or notes?
Private reports include your private events. When shared and private records are available, Include Private Items controls whether your private events join the shared report. Review the scope before sharing.
How long can the selected date range be?
The start and end dates can cover up to 366 days.
