# Report Templates
A report template is a pre-defined structure and format for creating reports. It may include narrative sections and custom fields, as well as the ability to select an export template.
Report templates save time and ensure consistency in the formatting and presentation of reports within an organization. They save time by pre-populating report sections, such as the introduction, methodology, or threat model. Linking to a custom export template ensures an exported file is branded and structured in the desired reporting methodology.
### Creating a Report Template
Step 1: Click **New report template**.
Step 2: Enter a template name and select a default export template from the pulldown menu, if applicable (i.e., a Jinja template).
{% hint style="info" %}
The default export template must be loaded first before starting this process.
{% endhint %}
Step 3: Add any custom fields or narrative sections by clicking the appropriate buttons and entering the required information.
Step 4: Click **Create**.
The template will appear in the list on the **Report templates** tab.
### Previewing a Report Template
Report templates can be previewed by clicking **Preview** under the "Actions" column.
The preview will show any text entered in the narrative section when the template was created. It does not display template custom fields.
### Editing a Report Template
Report templates can be edited by clicking **Edit** under the "Actions" column.
This will launch a modal, allowing the entire template to be modified. Click **Save** when finished.
### Deleting a Report Template
Report templates can be deleted by clicking **Delete** under the "Actions" column.
A box will appear confirming the action. Click **Delete**.

## 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.plextrac.com/plextrac-documentation/product-documentation-1/account-management/account-admin/customizations/templates/report-templates.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
