9 +In ThingsBoard, **Reporting** is a powerful and flexible tool for collecting, structuring, and automatically distributing data in the form of reports.
10 +
11 +Reporting in ThingsBoard is built on two key components:
12 +
13 +* **Configured report template** – defines the structure, content, and format of the report. A template can be in **PDF** or **CSV** format and may include any supported components, such as tables, charts, text blocks, images, and more.
14 +* **Scheduler event** – automatically triggers report generation at the specified time and sends it to selected recipients via available delivery channels (such as **email**, **Slack**, and other integrations).
15 +
16 +**Key features:**
17 +
18 +* **Automated scheduling** – preconfigured scheduler events can send reports on a set schedule without any user action.
19 +* **Reusable templates** – a single template can be used for different recipients by applying filters and parameters.
20 +* **Event-based delivery** – send reports when specific events occur (e.g., an active alarm on a device).
21 +* **Rich content support** – include text blocks, tables, charts, images, and more.
22 +* **Notification integration** – attach a generated report to system notifications (Email, Slack).
23 +
24 +**Where it's useful:**
25 +
26 +* Regular monitoring of your device's metrics.
27 +* Sharing summary data with partners or management.
28 +* Archiving data in an easy-to-read format.
29 +* Automating communication during incidents.
30 +
31 +**报告形式：**
32 +
33 +* **PDF** – visually styled reports that may include charts, tables, images, and company branding.
34 +* **CSV** – data-oriented tabular reports that are easy to analyze in Excel or BI tools.

79 +== **Report Builder** ==
80 +
81 +The **Report Builder** is a drag-and-drop editor that lets you design your report template using visual and data components. You have full control over both the appearance and structure of the report.
82 +
83 +Each component has two main configuration sections:
84 +
85 +* **Data configuration** — defines which data the component will display and how it will be filtered. Supports entity aliases and filters for dynamic data binding.
86 +* **Layout configuration** — controls the visual style and formatting in the final document.
87 +
88 +Here's what the Report Builder looks like:

93 +
94 +* In the **Report Builder**, add a component (for example, Rich text) and, in the “**Data**” tab, specify its data source (target entity and data keys).
