# Custom Reports

> Turn any Annie workflow into a reusable report. Start from a template or build your own, then run it on demand or on a schedule.

## Overview

A custom report turns a workflow you run often into a reusable template. Start from a built-in template or describe your own (the runbook plus the layout), and Annie generates a fresh report every time it runs, on demand or on a schedule.

You'll find them under [**Custom Reports**](https://app.anyshift.io/reports) in the sidebar. The automated [Proactive Findings](/pages/product/proactive_annie) live under their own **Proactive** entry.

<Note>
  A custom report's tone, framing, and structure come from the **report definition** itself — put any voice or style instructions in the runbook when you author it. [Personas](/pages/product/customization/personas) do not apply to custom reports; they set the voice of automated [Proactive Findings](/pages/product/proactive_annie) instead.
</Note>

## Start from a template

Each template is a ready-to-run reporting prompt tuned for one operational workflow. Run it as-is, or duplicate it and adjust to your stack.

## Build your own

Iterate with Annie in a [conversation](/pages/product/annie_knowledge) until the output looks right, then save it as a report. Or duplicate a template above and adjust it to your stack.

## Run it

* **Generate now** runs Annie immediately and adds a fresh instance to the list.
* **Schedule** it and Annie delivers each run on its own: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.

The schedule picker previews the next few run times so you know exactly when each report will arrive, and the definition shows a "Next run in…" hint at a glance. Scheduled reports can also be delivered to [Slack](/pages/product/integration/slack).

## Review past runs

Every report keeps its full history, newest first. Open any run to read the rendered report, **copy it as markdown**, or **download a PDF** for postmortems and stakeholders.
