# Configure report templates in Security Incident Response

You can create report templates that can be used to generate an incident summary or an executive summary for analysis and sharing.

Use Security Incident Response Report Templates feature to create report templates to generate reports that provide an analyst level or an executive level summary of an incident. You can format and configure the report on the basis of your requirements using various incident fields.

The following table explains the report templates that are provisioned within the base system.

|Name|Description|
|----|-----------|
|Analyst Status Reporting|Provides a complete information of an security incident for an analyst.|
|Executive Summary|Provides an overview of the status of an security incident for the management.|

**Note:** By default, these reports are in the draft state and are in the read-only mode. You have to reuse these default templates to create and publish report templates.
