## Understanding Control Manager Report Templates

A report template outlines the look and feel of Control Manager reports. Control Manager categorizes report templates according to the following types:

- Control Manager 5 templates: User-defined customized report templates that use direct database queries (database views) and report template elements (charts and tables). Users have greater flexibility specifying the data that appears in their reports compared to report templates from previous Control Manager versions.
- Control Manager 3 templates: Includes pre-defined templates.
