# Report Designer: Configuring Your Inspection Reports

The **Report Designer** allows users to generate professional PDF reports for each inspection conducted using a template. This feature is available to **template owners** and users with the **Template Editor** role.

Whether you need a quick summary or a detailed, audit-ready report, Report Designer puts you in control of how inspection results are documented and shared.

## Key Capabilities

On the **Report Designer** tab, users can:

- **Toggle content sections** to include or exclude specific data
- **Preview the report** in real-time to see what the final PDF will look like
- **Customize multiple reports** for different stakeholders or use cases

This ensures your team gets exactly the level of detail they need — from high-level scores for executives to deep-dive responses for compliance officers.
