# Reports

The **Reports** page is your central hub for organizing and managing your reports. It is split into two tabs, allowing you to quickly browse your report history or configure report templates:

* **Generated Reports**: View a list of all completed reports and download them as needed. For reports with attachments, the **Name** field indicates the number of attached files.
* **Report Templates**: View all report templates you have access to, including system templates and custom templates created by you or shared with you.

From the **Reports** page, you can perform the following tasks on your report templates:

* **Create templates**: Create a new report template from scratch in the report builder.
* **Generate reports**: Run any report template to immediately generate and download a report.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Data scoping:** Reports pre-fetch data based on the scope of the user who last saved the template. Ensure the template creator has the appropriate data permissions to provide the intended results for the report recipients.
{% endhint %}

* **Edit templates**: Rename the template, update its description, adjust the layout, or modify widget data.
* **Duplicate**: Create a copy of an existing template to use as a starting point for a new version.
* **Import**: Import report configurations in JSON format.
* **Export**: Export the report template configuration as a JSON file.
* **Manage access**: Share custom templates with other users, groups, or API keys. Custom templates are **Restricted** by default but can be assigned the following visibility levels:
  * **Public**: Visible to all users with the appropriate role permissions to view reports.
  * **Restricted**: Visible only to the template owner and specific authorized users or groups.

Icons in the **Source** column can help you to identify the security access and status of your reports.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/detect-investigate-and-respond-to-threats/monitor-dashboards-and-reports/manage-dashboards-and-reports/reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
