# Change report type

How to change the report type in Snyk API & Web

{% hint style="info" %}
**Snyk is rolling out a new navigation.** The steps on this page describe the classic interface. If your view looks different, visit [Navigate the Snyk Web UI](https://docs.snyk.io/navigate-the-snyk-web-ui#where-things-moved) to map these options to the new interface.
{% endhint %}

## Change report type

With Snyk API & Web, you can generate reports for target scans that are already finished. Use these reports to showcase your security to auditors, clients, consultants, and management. You can also use these reports to achieve HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or ISO 27001 compliance.

To generate a target scan report, click **Scan report** and select the type you want. Snyk generates and downloads the report.

Visit [Report types](/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/review-and-fix/overview-reports/report-types.md) to learn more about all the report types.

## 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.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-api-web/review-and-fix/overview-reports/change-report-type.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.
