# Generate a Report

After creating your report ([Create Report Application](/product/docs/create-report-application-2)), configuring it ([Configure a Report](/product/docs/configure-a-report-2)), you can now generate it though a dedicated page.

This page can be accessed via 2 ways:

### 1°) A report generator page is added to the menu for the edition mode of the report (Only available when the report is published)

When adding a **PDF Generator** page to the menu, the user can define a **default asset**.

This automatically pre-fills the **Generate Report** page with that asset when the page is opened.

When the report is added to the menu, the user gains access to a **Generator** page, where they can select the desired **asset** and **timeframe**.

#### Report without commenting widgets

If the report does **not** contain any **Report Comment** widgets ([Report Comment](/product/docs/report-comment-3)), clicking **“Generate Report”** will create a **queued report**, initiating the generation process.

Once the generation is complete and the status changes to **“Completed”**, the user can download the report by clicking the **Download** button.

#### Report with commenting widgets

If the report contains **Comment widgets**, a message will prompt the user to decide whether they want to add comments.

  

Comments are linked to a specific **scope**, defined by the **selected asset** and **timeframe**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a0786c0f-b171-4b24-8860-c32eb7ef2738/Images/Documentation/image(749).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T21%3A14%3A01Z&se=2026-11-06T22%3A14%3A01Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6KPFd0K0fHPDY8%2BdIblOKYVeAK7maN0JAv2DmwEs7g8%3D)

If the user chooses to edit comments by clicking “Edit comments” The user will be redirected to a preview page of the report where he can edit the comments:

From the Generator page, an end user can also **preview the report data** before generating the PDF.

  

To do this, the user should click the **Preview** button in the top-right corner.
