# Reports View since 5.6
In the Reports View, you can build quality reports reflecting the overall quality of your project. A quality report consists of individual slides that display e.g., findings, metrics, metric and trend charts, etc., from one or multiple of your project or multiple projects. Every slide is highly configurable and allows to display data for individual Teamscale projects, filter the data, add comments, etc.
More on Slide Types
For a complete overview of all slide types available in the report editor please refer to the Report Slides Overview
A flexible report editor allows editing the report at your convenience, with functions such as adding and removing, copying, pasting and duplicating slides, moving them per drag&drop, etc. Reports are saved in Teamscale for reference and later use. They can be printed or presented directly from Teamscale.
Permissions needed
The Reports View is not visible by default. In order to view the perspective, one of the following conditions has to be fulfilled:
- the user has been granted any Global Role that contains the Create Quality Reports permission (contained by default in the Project Creator and Instance Admin global roles).

# Report List View
The default view of the Reports View is the Report List View:
This view shows existing reports in a tabular fashion, with individual columns providing basic information on the quality report, such as report Time Span, basic Settings or the report's creator. The buttons in the report list table allow navigation to the Report Present View, Report Edit View, Basic Role View as well as copying or removing existing reports:
| Presents the report (full-screen) | |
| Delete the report. | |
| Navigate to the Report Edit View | |
| Allows to configure access rights for this report | |
| other options (e.g., copy report settings). |
# Opening a Report read-only
In order to view your report (without editing), you can click the report name in the Report List View.
This is a simple view providing an overview of report slides as well as the possibility to select and view individual slides. In case you have the permission to edit the report, you will see the Edit report button.
# Changing the Settings of a Slide
Each slide has a configuration window where you can select the slide settings. The slide settings can be specific to the slide type (e.g., filtering by task tag in the Quality Tasks Slide) as well as shared across multiple slide types, e.g., the slide Comments setting. An example of a slide settings window (from the Quality Tasks Slide) can is:
