# Manage Reports

There are numerous reports within the Mifos system. Many are core reports that are pre-installed for your organization. However you may add customized reports and edit core reports.

Beginning at the main screen, select [**Admin**](/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration.md), then **System** from the drop-down menu. This will launch the [**System**](/mifosx/user-manual/for-administrators-mifos-x-platform/administration/system.md) menu.

Select **Manage Reports**.

*This section might live within the* [*Custom Reports*](/mifosx/user-manual/for-all-users/reports/custom-reports.md) *section.*&#x20;

### **View Reports**

Once you have have selected **Manage Reports,** Mifos will generate a list of all currently available reports. This will appear in alphabetical order, but you may filter the results by using the **Filter by Name** field at the top of the list.

When the cursor is hovering over a report, it will appear in blue as above. Click on the report to open its detail page. From there you can **Edit** or **Delete** a report as well as see all of its attributes. Information included on this page include:

* Report Type
* Report Subtype (if applicable)
* Report Category
* is the report a Core Report?
* Is the report a User Report?

Below is an example of a report detail page:

### **Edit Report**

Once you have opened a report detail page, you may **edit** that report by clicking on the blue **Edit** button at the top-right of the screen. This will launch a new page from which you may change several facets of the report. Please note that the editing options for **Core** reports are much more limited.

When editing a **Core** report you may only change the **Report Details**:

* Report Name
* Report Category
* Description
* Report Type and subtype
* Is this a **User Report**?

If the report is not a **Core** report, there are two more sections for potential editing:

**SQL** (Structured Query Language)

1. Click on the report name in the list of available reports.
2. Click on the red **Delete** button at the top-right of the screen - this will launch a pop-up window to confirm the deletion as shown
