# Generate and Download a PDF Report Generate a PDF report for your organization, one asset or one CVE, preview it in the browser, save it as PDF and reopen past reports. Source: https://docs.deepinfo.com/guide/reports/generate-a-report/ Last updated: 2026-09-26 --- The platform generates a PDF report from your current data. You preview the report in the browser and then save it as a PDF. Every report you generate is kept, so you can open it again later. > [!IMPORTANT] > A report is created as soon as its page opens, with an automatic name. There is no name field and no > confirmation step. **GENERATE NEW REPORT** opens that page straight away, except on the > **Asset Detail Report** and **Vulnerability Detail Report**, which first ask you to pick an asset or a CVE. > **CREATE A REPORT** and **CREATE REPORT** on an asset also open it straight away. ## Before You Start - **Package:** your organization's package must include Reports. See [Reports](/guide/reports/). - **Role:** Admin or Member. - **Data:** the **Asset Detail Report** is for an asset in your inventory. The **Vulnerability Detail Report** is for a CVE found on your assets. ## Where to Find It **Sidebar:** **REPORTS** › **REPORTS** · **Tab:** **EASM REPORTS** · [https://platform.deepinfo.com/app/platform/reports](https://platform.deepinfo.com/app/platform/reports) The PDF reports are in the **GENERAL REPORTS** section of the **EASM REPORTS** tab, which opens first. For one asset, you can also start from the asset itself (see [From an asset](#from-an-asset)). ## Read the Report Drawer Click anywhere on a PDF report card except its button. A drawer opens on the right. ![The report drawer for EASM Executive Summary Report on the OVERVIEW tab, with What does it include?, Why This Report Matters and the GENERATE NEW REPORT button.](/img/guide/reports/generate-a-report-01.png) - **Top:** the module tag **EASM**, a **NEW** tag on some report types, and the report title. - **Two icon tabs** on the left side of the drawer. Hover over an icon to see its name: - **OVERVIEW:** the description, **What does it include?** (a summary and the list of sections) and **Why This Report Matters**. - **REPORTS HISTORY:** the reports of this type generated so far, newest first. The columns are **REPORT NAME** and **CREATED DATE**. Each row ends with an eye icon and a download icon. With no reports yet, the tab shows **No Result Found.** - **GENERATE NEW REPORT** at the bottom of the drawer. Press Esc to close the drawer. ![The report drawer on the REPORTS HISTORY tab, listing past reports with their name, creation date, eye icon and download icon.](/img/guide/reports/generate-a-report-02.png) ## Generate a Report for Your Organization Use these steps for **EASM Executive Summary Report**, **EASM Weekly Progress Report**, **Issue Overview Report** and **Vulnerability Overview Report**. 1. In the sidebar, select **REPORTS** › **REPORTS**. The **EASM REPORTS** tab opens. 2. On the report's card, select **GENERATE NEW REPORT**. The button at the bottom of the report's drawer does the same. 3. The report page opens and generation starts. The tile reads "The report is being generated..." and shows a progress bar. 4. When the report is ready, the tile turns blue and shows **SAVE AS PDF**. The report's pages appear below the tile, so you can read it before you download it. 5. Select **SAVE AS PDF**. The PDF opens in a new browser tab, and the message "Your report has been generated and downloaded to your device." appears. ## Generate a Report for One Asset or One CVE The **Asset Detail Report** and the **Vulnerability Detail Report** ask what to report on first. 1. On the report's card, select **GENERATE NEW REPORT**. 2. Choose what the report is about: - **Asset Detail Report:** the **Select an asset** popup opens. Open **ASSETS** ("Select assets") and pick one asset. Type part of its name to search your whole inventory. - **Vulnerability Detail Report:** the **Select a CVE ID** popup opens. Open **CVE ID** ("Select CVE") and pick one CVE. 3. Select **SELECT**. If nothing is chosen, the popup shows "Please select an item." 4. The report page opens and generation starts. Continue with steps 3 to 5 of [Generate a report for your organization](#generate-a-report-for-your-organization). To stop, select **CANCEL** in the popup. No report is created. ![The Select an asset popup with the ASSETS dropdown open, listing the assets you can report on.](/img/guide/reports/generate-a-report-05.png) ### From an Asset 1. Open the asset from **EXTERNAL ATTACK SURFACE MANAGEMENT** › **ASSETS** › **INVENTORY**. See [Investigate an asset](/guide/easm/asset-details/). 2. Select **CREATE A REPORT** at the top of the asset's page, or **CREATE REPORT** in the asset's **…** menu. The menu item opens the report in a new browser tab. 3. An Asset Detail Report for that asset is generated right away. When it is ready, select **SAVE AS PDF**. ## Reopen a Past Report 1. In the sidebar, select **REPORTS** › **REPORTS** and click the body of the report's card. 2. In the drawer, open the **REPORTS HISTORY** tab. 3. Click a row. The eye icon does the same. The report opens as it was generated; it is not generated again. 4. Select **SAVE AS PDF** to download it. To download a past report without opening it, use the download icon on its row. A saved report's page has no back button. Its breadcrumb reads **DEEPINFO / REPORTS /** followed by the report type, for example **EASM EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT**. To return to the catalogue, select **REPORTS** › **REPORTS** in the sidebar. ![A saved EASM Executive Summary Report opened from REPORTS HISTORY, with its breadcrumb, the blue SAVE AS PDF tile and the top of the first preview page.](/img/guide/reports/generate-a-report-06.png) ## Good to Know - **Each opening creates a report.** Every time a new-report page opens, the platform generates another report. To look at a report again, open it from **REPORTS HISTORY**. - **Names are automatic.** A report is named after its type, or after the asset or CVE, followed by the date and time it was created. An Executive Summary, for example, is named `executive-summary-YYYY-MM-DD-HH:mm`. You cannot rename a report or add a description in the platform. - **The preview leaves out the covers.** The report page shows the content pages. The cover, with the report title and creation date, and the back cover are in the PDF. - **No delete in the platform.** Deleting a report is available through the API only (see below). - **To receive a report regularly,** schedule it instead of generating it by hand. See [Schedule a report](/guide/reports/schedule-a-report/). ## Do This With the API - [Create a report](/reference/platform/report-create/) - [Search generated reports](/reference/platform/report-search/), for example all reports of one type - [Get one report](/reference/platform/report-detail/) - [Get a download link for a report's PDF](/reference/platform/report-download/) Available through the API only: - [Delete a report](/reference/platform/report-delete/)
