Creating and Managing Report Blueprints

Updated over a month ago

Research Report supports text-based analysis powered by deep research.

To begin, click on  Research report on the left tool bar from the Start Page.

The Research Report can be used to build reports by giving all the instructions as a prompt and letting the AI create the report or by manually configuring the report. 

The Blueprint Library option on the top left includes built-in Maven Bio templates and your saved custom blueprints for streamlined and reproducible report creation.

You can select a blueprint to auto-populate report sections streamlining setup and saving time. To find a blueprint that fits your needs, use the search bar.

Blueprints are organized into four categories:

  • All, which includes both inbuilt Maven Bio templates and custom ones you've created;

  • Shared, consisting of globally accessible Maven Bio templates;

  • Mine, showcasing blueprints you've personally created and saved;

  • Starred, a quick-access list of blueprints—either custom or inbuilt.

To select a blueprint, simply click on it to review its layout and contents, then click Apply to use it in your report.

If you’d like to remove a blueprint from your personal library, use the Delete button.

You can also click the Star button to add a blueprint to your Starred section, making it easier to access through the Starred tab for future use.

Another way to create a report is by using the "or configure manually" option.

Using this you can fine-tune a report to meet your specific needs—starting with blueprint selection, then customizing objectives and section layouts, and finally enriching the output with tagged references and supporting files.

"or configure manually" option opens up Report Configuration in Research Reports  which consists of various options to create save, view blueprints as well as generate sections for a new blueprint or review and edit a blueprint before applying it.

This progression offers a structured yet flexible experience designed for efficiency, clarity, and reusability. It simplifies complex workflows, making it easier to produce high-impact, reference-ready outputs without repetitive setup.

If your report requires specific objectives and predefined sections, you can manually enter them in the Report Objective and the Report Section fields to guide the structure accordingly. You can also edit the objective and sections of a built-in blueprint.

To structure your 'report sections' according to your needs while creating a new report or applying a built-in template that may need some tweaking :

  • Use the "+" icon to add new sections.

  • Populate each section with a title and relevant topics to break content into manageable sub-sections.

  • Use the save icon to store individual sections.

  • Use the duplicate icon to easily replicate existing sections—ideal for making quick tweaks to similar content without retyping.

  • The delete icon lets you remove any sections that are no longer needed.

Once you're satisfied with the blueprint, click the save icon above the report objective box and use the window that appears to save it for future reuse, update an existing blueprint, or create a new one. You will need to add a title, and optionally include a description and category to save.

The right-hand panel: Attachments allows you to tag up to five items to enrich your report. These may include drugs, trials, indications, mechanisms, prior reports, or Smart Tables.

You can mix item types (e.g., a table, a trial, and a drug) to provide additional context. This improves traceability, centralizes key requirements, and allows stakeholders to access relevant data directly within the reporting workflow, enhancing clarity and decision-readiness.

You can also upload a file. Supported upload formats include PDF, DOCX, PPTX, CSV, XLSX, TXT, and MD files (max 2.5MB).

Once the blueprint is finalized and saved, click Generate Report to initiate report creation using your configured structure, attached references, and defined objectives.

Batch Mode

The Batch Mode option enables research report creation at scale.

When you click this option, you can tag Maven Bio entities from the dropdown menu. The system will generate separate reports for each tagged entity while maintaining a consistent structure across all outputs.

If you pin an entity, it becomes the central thematic focus for the reports.

For example:

If you tag and pin asthma and add four drugs, the system will generate four separate research reports. Each report will focus on one of the four drugs, with asthma serving as the standardized indication theme across all reports.

In this case:

  • Total tagged entities: 5

  • Pinned entities: 1

  • Total Reports generated: 4

Each report corresponds to the unpinned entities, while the pinned entity provides the consistent contextual framework.

When using Batch Mode, clicking Generate Report opens a confirmation popup. This allows you to:

  • Review the tagged items

  • Confirm the number of reports being generated

  • Remove any specific report before proceeding to generate the research reports.
