# ReportInterface {#reportinterfaceapi}

Classes implementing this interface are registered automatically as reports
in the module **Reports** if `autoconfigure` is enabled in
`Services.yaml` or if it was registered manually by the tag
[reports.report](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-reports:register-custom-report@13.4).

If information from the current request is required for the report use
[\\TYPO3\\CMS\\Reports\\RequestAwareReportInterface](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/typo3/cms-reports:typo3-cms-reports-requestawarereportinterface@13.4).
