What is a predefined report?

A predefined report refers to a report that is created based on a set template that includes specific configurations, data sources, and formats predetermined by the system. This allows users to generate reports effectively without the need for extensive customization or configuration. Predefined reports are designed to meet common reporting needs, streamlining the process for users who require immediate access to typical analyses or overviews without extensive setup.

This approach benefits users in environments where standard reporting scenarios are commonplace, as it saves time and ensures consistency in reporting. In contrast, other options, such as a report with user-defined settings or a custom report created by the user, imply a level of input and configuration that does not align with the characteristics of predefined reports, which are meant to be ready-to-use out of the box.
