# Create content configurations

Define the data that you want to view or fetch, whether it's a list of records or an aggregation when creating an audit report.

5.  Build the Filter criteria and the Aggregation criteria as required.

6.  To specify a table or data that you want to insert in the content block as a table, select the **Content block criteria** tab.

    1.  In the **Parent block configuration** field, select the required content configuration.

    2.  Select **Submit**.
