Working with Customized Report Templates
Report Templates are Tripwire-defined or custom templates for Reports. A Report Template that has been configured to include user-specified filter values (specific Assets, time ranges, Data Sources, etc.) is referred to as a Configured Template. The parameters that can be configured vary for each type of Report Template.
