# Build a custom report
> Design your own report structure and prompts.
## Overview
Custom reports let you define the exact sections and questions you want Aseed to answer when creating project reports. Build your own structure to synthesize insights from multiple interviews according to your specific research needs.
Define exactly which sections and prompts to include in your synthesis.
Write your own prompts or choose from system-provided section templates.
Organize sections in any order that makes sense for your research.
Tailor the synthesis to answer your unique research questions and frameworks.
## How to build custom reports
In your project, navigate to the **Project Reports** section and click **Create Report**.
In the report setup interface, click on the **Custom** tab to access the custom structure builder.
Click **Add Section** to create a new section. You can choose from system-provided section templates (like "Key Insights", "Pain Points", "Recommendations") or create a completely custom section with your own prompt.
System sections provide proven prompts that work well for common analysis needs. Use them as starting points and customize as needed.
For each section, write a clear, specific prompt that defines what you want Aseed to analyze or answer. Good prompts are:
* Specific to your research questions
* Clear about the expected output
* Tied to your research goals
Drag sections up or down to reorder them. The order determines how sections appear in the final report. Organize sections logically, starting with overview sections and moving to detailed analysis.
Consider the flow of your report: start with summaries and key insights, then move to detailed analysis, and end with recommendations or action items.
Review your complete structure to ensure all sections are in the right order and prompts are clear. Click **Save** to save the custom structure.
Choose which interview records to include in the synthesis, then click **Generate** to create the project report using your custom structure.
## System sections
You can use these system-provided section templates as starting points:
* **Summary / TL;DR** - Executive summary of findings
* **Key Insights** - Major discoveries and insights
* **Pain Points** - User frustrations and problems
* **Unmet Needs** - Desires and unmet requirements
* **Recommendations** - Actionable next steps
* **Jobs-to-be-Done** - JTBD framework analysis
* **Behavioral Patterns** - User behaviors and workarounds
System sections come with proven prompts that work well for common analysis needs. You can use them as-is or customize the prompts to better fit your research.
## Best practices
Keep custom prompts specific and tied to your research goals. Vague prompts lead to generic results, while specific prompts produce actionable insights.
Begin with system sections to understand the structure, then customize prompts or add fully custom sections as needed. This saves time and ensures you're following proven patterns.
Structure your report flow logically: overview first, then detailed analysis, then recommendations. This makes the report easier to read and more actionable.
After generating a report with a custom structure, review the results and refine your prompts or section order. Custom structures improve with iteration.
If you create a custom structure that works well, save it for reuse in future projects. Consistent structures enable easier comparison across research projects.
