Not every project needs the same daily report. Raken lets you choose exactly which sections appear on your completed daily reports — so your team only sees and captures what's relevant to each job. This article explains how to customize report sections at the project and company template level.
Quick Answer
To customize which sections appear on your daily reports, go to Projects > [Your Project] > Settings > Daily Reporting > Report Sections. Check or uncheck the sections you want to include or hide, then click Save.
Available Report Sections
Daily reports are organized into four groups. You can toggle each option on or off:

Click Company, then select Project templates.

Click Save.
Return to the templates list, click the ellipsis, and select Apply to projects. Choose your projects and click Apply.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
My changes aren't showing on today's report — why?
Changes to report sections take effect the following day. If you saved the setting today, it will appear on tomorrow's daily report.
Can I set different report sections for different projects?
Yes. Report sections are configured per project. Each project can have its own custom section settings independent of others.

Considerations
Report section changes take effect the following day — plan ahead.
Applying a template updates all report settings for the selected projects — review the full template before applying to avoid unintended changes.
Production and Equipment sections only display data if your team is actively logging those entries in Raken.
