# Reports

Use reporting in Cortex to track entity performance against [Scorecards](/standardize/scorecards.md), analyze Scorecard performance over time, and more. Reports apply to published Scorecards in your workspace.

Cortex offers several built-in reports:

* [**Executive**](/improve/reports/executive-report.md): A high level view of owned and unowned entities, deploys, endpoints, and Scorecard performance
* [**All Scorecards**](/improve/reports/all-scorecards.md): An aggregation of Scorecard reports, allowing you to quickly see which entities are meeting standards and which need more attention
* [**Birds eye**](/improve/reports/birds-eye.md): A hierarchy-aware entity performance report that visualizes Scorecard data as a heat map
* [**Progress**](/improve/reports/progress-report.md): A graph showing how performance of a Scorecard has changed over time
* [**Report card**](/improve/reports/report-card.md): A high-level overview of any given Scorecard with the ability to visualize key performance indicators and top or bottom performers.

Cortex also offers CQL reports, allowing you to use Cortex Query Language (CQL) to query raw data in Cortex and build a custom report. Learn more in [Using CQL reports](/standardize/cql/cql-reports.md).

You can also access reports directly from a [Scorecard](/standardize/scorecards.md), under the **Reports** tab:

## Troubleshooting and FAQ

#### Why don't I see all of my expected Scorecards in a report?

Reports only apply to published Scorecards; they do not apply to draft Scorecards. If a Scorecard is not appearing in your report, check whether it's in draft form.
