Structure of a Report
Some people will read the summary and only skim the report, so
make sure you include all the relevant information.
Recommendations
This is what needs to be done.
This section is for your suggested solution to the problem and/or what
you think should happen next, i.e. the action(s) you recommend.
Explain your recommendations, putting them in order of priority.
References
This is a list giving the full details of all the sources to which
you have made reference within your text.
Appendices
This includes all the information (graphs, charts, tables or
other data) you used in your report but did not include in the
body.
Using a Template to Write Reports
When you create a report that is based on an existing report template, you
build the report on a template that already contains objects.
This can save you time designing a new report.
Templates are particularly useful when you want to create several reports
that require one or two of the same objects.
A report can be created containing one or two common objects, and saved
as a template.
Then you can build reports based on the template and simply add individual
objects required by each report.
