When it comes to list reports, in some cases, it can be nice to have two versions of a particular report: a ready-made version and a clone-ready version
The ready-made version would be designed to fit neatly within the margins of the page and would require little thought in running. It would be targeted to specific users in specific situations The clone-ready version, on the other hand, would have plenty of display information options, and would be designed on the premise that it is better, and more fool-proof, to remove display options rather than add them.

This refers back to what Amy Terlaga just posted on her blog about some canned reports Equinox has developed. March 3, 2010 Good morning everyone. I know there has been a lot of discussion via the list about "canned" reports for Evergreen. I have been working on a reports project to develop 35-40 canned reports that will be delivered to Equinox customers. We plan to deliver these to a few sites shortly for testing purposes and will then proceed with delivering them to existing and new customers. I am attaching a list of the proposed reports. These were based on various national and state sites I found that listed requirements for reporting statistics to the state or federal government. Once these reports are in place, you will be able to skip the template writing step and create a report based off pre-selected filters. You can, however, clone the report templates if you need to add or remove display information or edit the filters or data transforms. If you have other suggestions or questions, please let me know. I know these are not a comprehensive set of reports that each library may need but hopefully they will help you get started.
