# Templates

This page lists your saved report templates. A template defines the sections a report is made up of, and is what you generate a report from, either on demand or on a schedule.

## Action Buttons

**New Report** opens the builder with an empty template:

{% content-ref url="/pages/xg5isL3U7cWj6PGRccPl" %}
[Report Builder](/user-documentation/tools/report-builder/builder.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

<details>

<summary>Browse Catalog</summary>

Opens the **Browse Report Template Catalog** flyout, listing report templates published in the community-repos registered with your instance. Search for a template, preview it, then select **Import** to add it to your own templates.

Unlike the equivalent catalog for Intune and Conditional Access, there is no option to import from one of your tenants, since report templates are not tenant objects.

## Table Details

| Column       | Description                                                                                                       |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Name         | The name given to the template.                                                                                   |
| Sections     | The total number of blocks in the template, of every type.                                                        |
| Test Count   | The number of Test Result blocks, each of which pulls in the outcome of a CIPP test when the report is generated. |
| Custom Count | The number of Custom Blocks, which are free-form content sections you write yourself.                             |

{% hint style="info" %}
Sections will usually be larger than Test Count and Custom Count added together. Blocks of every other type, including Database Data, Chart, Score Cards, Progress Bars, Section Divider and Page Break, count towards the total but have no column of their own.
{% endhint %}

## Table Actions

<table><thead><tr><th>Action</th><th>Description</th><th data-type="checkbox">Bulk Action Available</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Open in Builder</td><td>Opens the selected template in the <a data-mention href="/pages/xg5isL3U7cWj6PGRccPl">/pages/xg5isL3U7cWj6PGRccPl</a> with its content loaded, ready to edit.</td><td>true</td></tr><tr><td>Upload to Repository</td><td>Publishes the selected template to a community repository, so it can be shared or reused elsewhere.

# 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://docs.cipp.app/user-documentation/tools/report-builder/templates.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.
