## Overview

Now that you've created a Rule, let's explore Reports, a built-in way to review how your Rules evaluated telemetry during a Run, inspect the Annotations they generated, and assess the overall health and behavior of your system.

## What are Reports

Reports provide a consolidated view of how the Rules configured for an Asset evaluated telemetry during a Run, including the [Annotations](../../documentation/reference/annotations-reference) they generated and their current status.

Annotations are markers that Sift creates when a Rule condition is met. They highlight an exact moment in your telemetry data.

## Create a Report

Let's create a Report for our created Run.

1. Click <SiftIcon /> **Sift**.
2. In the **Run name or description** box, enter the name of the Run created in [Tutorial 1](../tutorial-1/overview).
   * **For example**: fl\_tutorial\_1\_run
3. In the **Runs** table, click your Run.
4. Click <Icon icon="list-check" /> **Create Report**.
5. Click the <Icon icon="code-simple" /> **Rules** tab.
6. In the **Rules** table, click the Rule you created.
   * **For example**: fl\_tutorial\_4\_rule
7. Click <Icon icon="list-check" /> **Evaluate**.

## Open generated Report

After a few seconds, the report should be ready. Let's open it.

1. Click <SiftIcon /> **Sift**.
2. Click the <Icon icon="list-check" /> **Reports** tab.
3. In the **Report name** box, enter the name of the Run created in [Tutorial 1](../tutorial-1/overview).
   * **For example**: fl\_tutorial\_1\_run
4. In the **Reports** table, click the name of the created Run.

In a Report, you can assign trigger Annotations to specific users, or you can comment on them to enable further discussion with others. For example:

1. In the **Rules** section, click **14:21:36**.
2. Optional: In the **Assigned to** list, assign a user to the generated Annotation.
3. Optional: In the **Comments and logs** box, enter a comment for the generated Annotation.
