Configuring Global Report Options
Configuring report styles
Ghostwriter's report engine pulls several default style settings from Command Center. The settings apply to all projects and reports.
The Global Report Configuration section contains options for customizing the contents of your Word documents.
Due to limitations in the PowerPoint API (and the nature of PowerPoint compared to Word), options for borders, tables, and figures only apply to Word documents right now.
If you enable borders for pictures, you can set a border line weight (in EMUs; default is
12700
EMUs, or 1pt) and a border color code (e.g., 2D2B6B
).
Border Configuration
Ghostwriter will add cross-reference (e.g., bookmarks) for figures and tables. Configure a label and a separator character that will appear between your label and your captions. The default separator is an en dash (–).

Table and Figure Options
Finally, you can select default report templates and configure a default filename for new report downloads. The filenames can be generic or include placeholders to create dynamic filenames.

Report generation Options for Filenames and Default Templates
Placeholder | Description |
---|---|
{date} | |
{client} | The name of the client associated with the project. |
{company} | |
{assessment_type} | The assessment type set for the project. |
The default filename value is a good example of how to use these dynamic elements. The default value is:
{Y-m-d
}_{His} {company} - {client} {assessment_type} Report
That translates into a string like this:
2022-11-02_185117 SpecterOps - Ghostwriter Red Team Report
Severity categories are managed under the Reporting application and the Severity model. Set a color code for each severity category (e.g.,
966FD6
).Do not change the name or weights without updating the HTML templates. Some templates modify styles based on specific severity names. Categories cannot be sorted alphabetically, so weights maintain the ordering in reports.
