## Understanding Reports

Control Manager reports consist of two parts: report templates and report profiles. Where a report template determines the look and feel of the report, the report profile specifies the origin of the report data, the schedule/time period, and the recipients of the report.
Control Manager 5.0 introduced radical changes over previous Control Manager versions by introducing customized reports for Control Manager administrators. Control Manager 6.0 continues to support report templates from previous Control Manager versions, however Control Manager 6.0 allows administrators to design their own custom report templates.
