# Reports

## Introduction

The Reports feature is designed to transform how enterprise drone teams log, review, and share critical observations. Whether you’re managing routine surveillance, infrastructure inspections, or rapid incident responses, this feature enables teams to generate structured Day/Night Shift Reports and Incident Reports based on drone flight logs and media, all from within the FlytBase dashboard.

This enhancement reduces manual documentation effort, empowers cross-team collaboration, and enhances post-flight analysis — particularly valuable in high-security sectors like energy, logistics, construction, and public safety.

## Creating a New Report

1. Log in to your FlytBase dashboard and open the **Navigation Drawer**. Select **Reports**.
