| Keyword | formats | 
| Purpose | This attribute defines for which output formats the report should be generated. By default, this list is empty. Unless a formats attribute was added to a report definition, no output will be generated for this report. As reports are composable, a report may include other report definitions. A format definition is only needed for the outermost report that includes the others. | |
| Syntax | formats (csv | html | niku) [, (csv | html | niku)...] | |
| Arguments | csv | The report lists the resources and their respective values as colon-separated-value (CSV) format. Due to the very simple nature of the CSV format, only a small subset of features will be supported for CSV output. Including tasks or listing multiple scenarios will result in very difficult to read reports. | 
| html | Generate a web page (HTML file) | |
| niku | Generate a XOG XML file to be used with Clarity. | |
| Context | accountreport, nikureport, resourcereport, taskreport, textreport, tracereport | |
