> #### Working with report templates

> You can modify or delete any of the existing Fathom templates, or you can create your own templates. All report templates, regardless of whether they are provided with Fathom or created, appear in this list of report templates. If you add, delete, or rename a report template, that change is reflected on the Create Report page.

> When you create a report template, you provide the template's name, menu group (choose from the existing groups or create your own), and a brief report description that appears on the Create Report page. See the "Creating a custom report template" section for detailed instructions on creating a report template.

> Each of the report templates provided with Fathom defines reports based on one resource (with the exception of the AppServer and WebSpeed reports, which can report on multiple resources). When you modify the Fathom-provided report templates or create your own templates, you can choose to generate a report based on multiple resources and even resources of different types (database and system CPU in one report, for example).

> You can modify or remove any of the individual templates you see listed on the Create Report page. This flexibility allows you to set up a Fathom Reports page that includes only those reports relevant to your business needs.

> To delete a report template:

> 1. Expand the Report Templates category in the report list frame.
> 2. Click the report template name. The Report Template Summary page appears.
> 3. Click Delete. The template no longer appears on the Create Report page or in the list frame's list of templates.
