A report in Daedaline is made up of sections — each section is a discrete prompt that Daedaline uses to generate a block of content from your project’s documents. You control what each section covers by describing it in plain language.

Adding a section

  1. Open a report in the Report Composer.
  2. Click the + Add Section button in the report toolbar.
  3. A section prompt panel appears. Type a description of what this section should cover.
  4. Click Submit to generate the section content.
Daedaline uses your prompt along with the documents in the project to produce the section text. While a section is being generated, an animated progress indicator is shown in its place.

Suggestion prompts

Not sure what to write? Click one of the suggestion chips below the prompt input to pre-fill a commonly used section description:
  • “Provide a table of the technical attributes of this project”
  • “Provide a summary with the following headers: Overview, Key Findings, Red Flags”
  • “Provide a summary of the technical considerations around interconnection”

The report outline

The collapsible outline panel on the left side of the report view lists all sections with their titles. Click a section in the outline to jump directly to it. Toggle the panel open and closed using the outline button in the toolbar.

Saving as a template

Once you have built a report structure that you want to reuse:
  1. Click Save as Template in the report toolbar.
  2. Give the template a name and optional description.
  3. The template is saved at the organisation level and becomes available to all team members when creating new reports.
