By default, templates are associated with what kind of reports?

The correct choice is based on the understanding that templates in FortiAnalyzer are inherently linked to predefined reports. These predefined reports are standard templates that come with the system, designed to provide specific insights and analytics based on common needs within network management and security monitoring.

Predefined reports utilize templates to simplify the reporting process, allowing users to automatically generate reports with consistent formatting and data presentation. This association ensures that users can quickly access reports that reflect standard metrics and analyses without the need to create custom formats each time.

When considering other types of reports, such as user-created reports, ad-hoc reports, or third-party reports, these typically involve more customization and flexibility and do not automatically link to the templates provided by FortiAnalyzer. User-created reports might use templates, but they can also be completely custom, resulting in no strict association to the default templates. Similarly, ad-hoc and third-party reports often focus on specific, immediate needs that may not align with the standardized formats established by the predefined templates.
