# About active reports

This topic describes the different types of active reports available in RMH and where reports are saved on the local computer if you do not configure a shared network folder in Store Administrator.

You can use **active reports** to analyze different aspects of a store's retail operations. Under **Reports** | **Active Reports**, you will see four folders:

* **Standard:** These reports were developed for Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS), and are included in RMH for retailers who have migrated from RMS to RMH.
* **Custom:** These reports were developed by either RMH or RMH partners. Reports in the **Custom** folder may appear to be similar to the reports in the **Standard** folder, but they usually include additional columns (and data) that are not available in the original RMS reports.
* **Memorized:** This folder contains the store's custom reports. Stores will typically save (memorize) custom reports so they can reuse filters or retain report layouts. This folder is only visible if the store has saved (memorized) one or more custom reports.
* **Physical Inventory Count:** These reports are used exclusively during physical inventory counts.

Active reports for Store Manager are typically stored under **C:\Program Files (x86)\Retail Hero\RMH Store Manager\ActiveReports**. Active reports in the **Standard**, **Custom**, and **Physical Inventory Count** sub-folders may be overwritten when Store Manager is updated to a new version. For this reason, the best practice is to save (memorize) the store's custom reports with a different file name. Memorized reports are automatically saved to the **Memorized** folder, and reports in this folder are not overwritten when Store Manager is updated. If you change the storage location for active reports (for example, if you move them to a networked folder), you must update the file path for Active Reports in Store Administrator under **File** | **Configuration** | **Path**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.rmhpos.com/store-manager/generate-reports/understanding-active-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
