A report template contains instructions for gathering metadata from CentraSite Business UI or the CentraSite registry/repository for one or more assets, and formatting it into an asset-specific report. The template lets you create detailed reports for your assets containing data that you have specified. Using the Report Designer, you can also create report templates that have the exact content and presentation that you need.

CentraSite provides a variety of predefined global report templates that you can use to obtain, view and share information from your assets. You can also define custom report templates to produce detailed reports that have the specific content and format that you require.

For information on how to create report templates and upload the report templates to CentraSite, see the CentraSite User’s Guide .
