# How to create a Report?

#### Guide to Creating Your First Template and Downloading a Report in MyMove

This step-by-step guide will help you create your first report template on the MyMove platform and show you how to generate and download a report based on that template.

The Reports section in MyMove allows you to generate and download structured summaries of sensor data in PDF format. Reports can be created manually or scheduled to be sent automatically at custom intervals.

**Add Content to the Template**

* Step 5: In the Contents section, choose the type of content you want to add:
  * **Image**: Select "Image content" to upload relevant images (e.g., photos of the monitoring site).
  * **Text**: Add descriptive text by choosing "Text content". This can include titles, project descriptions, or data comments.
  * **Chart**: Choose "Chart content" to create a custom chart (similar to Analytics). Select the sensor data you want to display (e.g., inclination, vibrations) and customize the chart.

**Create and customize a Chart**

* Step 6: Through the same chart configurator used in the Analytics tool, create a chart content.
* Step 7: Decide between different heights for the chart to change the amount of contents that will fit in a report page.

**Set the Time Range for Charts**

* Step 8: For each chart, configure the time range:
  * **Global**: Use the overall report time range.
  * **Locked Data Range**: If a specific chart should have a fixed time range, enable the "Locked data range" switch and set a custom range:
    * **Custom date range**: Select a specific time period.
    * **Suggested data range:** Configure a relative time period for the chart that updates dynamically.
    * **Since Date**: Show data from a specific date until today.
    * **Last N Days**: Display data for the last N days dynamically.

  * Choose whether to display the company logo in the header of each report page.
  * Add a footer to each page and decide whether to include page numbers.

**Save the Template**

* Step 10: Once customization is complete, click "Save Template". Your template will now be available for future use.
