Report templates are used to generate most reports. You can modify most report templates and also create your own ones. For a step-by-step example see - How can I customize a report?
You can create new fields for an item (e.g. a new warranty date field for equipment) that can be displayed on the report by selecting Administration, Define Custom Fields for that specific item type (e.g. equipment) on the main window.
