The reporting engine extracts case and variant data, then automatically populates template sections. Template conditions determine which content appears for each case. **Benefits of the reporting solution:** * **Reduced manual work:** Automatic data population eliminates repetitive text entry. * **Consistency and reproducibility:** Reports follow standardized logic across cases. * **Traceability:** Reports generated in finalized cases are saved and can be reviewed or downloaded at any time. * **Customizability:** Templates can be tailored to your laboratory’s clinical, regulatory, and branding requirements. ### Template types Emedgene uses two types of templates: * **Case report templates**, used to automatically create complete case reports that include proband and sample details, a summary of findings, the final case outcome, and interpretation and recommendations. * **Variant interpretation templates**, used to automatically create variant‑level interpretation notes that may be incorporated into case reports. ### Customization **Emedgene** provides out‑of‑the‑box templates for case‑level and variant‑level reports. These standard templates include essential components such as case metadata, variant summaries, interpretation notes, and test details. If your organization requires alignment with specific SOPs or branding guidelines, templates can be customized to include: * Conditional sections based on variant type * Dynamic paragraphs triggered by tags or pathogenicity * Organization‑specific disclaimers or formatting rules * Multiple electronic signatures To request custom template development beyond the standard offering, contact your Illumina representative. ## Next steps To learn more, continue with:

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/case-completion-and-reporting/clinical_report.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
