**Navigation:** Explore → Reports → Library  
**Primary audience:** users permitted to run or view reports

## Purpose

Library is the catalog of available operational, commercial, project, relationship, executive, administrative, and restricted reports. It shows freshness, audience, format, ownership, and source health before a report is opened or run.

## Scope controls and indicators

Category filters business area. Audience selects reports the user can access. Freshness filters current, stale, or source-warning states. Format selects interactive, PDF, CSV, evidence appendix, or another supported output.

Available Reports is accessible catalog size. Updated Today shows recent refresh. Favorites is the user's saved set. Needs Attention counts reports affected by source, permission, or generation issues.

## Report library

Each report card shows title, purpose, category, audience, latest update, freshness, formats, owner, and warning state. Restricted reports appear only to authorized users. Opening a card loads the report or its configuration according to permission.

## Supporting analysis

**Report usage** shows category-level access or runs without exposing inappropriate individual surveillance. **Data freshness** shows current, stale, and warning counts. **Library actions** offers run, favorite, repair, or owner-review tasks.

## Actions

- Open or run a report.
- Filter, search, favorite, or unfavorite.
- Open the evidence appendix and version information.
- Schedule a permitted report.
- Create a report from an available template.
- Review or repair a source warning if responsible.

## Recommended procedure

Check audience, reporting period, and data freshness before using a report. Open the evidence or methodology for consequential decisions. Use Scheduled for recurring distribution rather than manually exporting repeated copies.

## States and limitations

Reports can be current while one optional source is unavailable; affected sections are marked. A report's update time is not necessarily the latest timestamp of every source. Restricted and expired reports are omitted or blocked according to policy.
