# Cloning A Data Capture

We strongly advise that you discuss your requirements with the GoReport team **before **you commence using Creator. This will ensure you get the most out of the time you invest in building your own templates and that the end result meets your expectations.

**Should I use Creator?**

We recommend that you speak to our support team before you beginning building or cloning a data capture using Creator. Creator is perfect for basic publishes of collected data and for rapidly building data captures where the data output or aggregated output is to be used for analysis. GoReport’s extremely powerful report ability using pdf as an output gives wider options for highly stylised reports or where calculation, charts or other analysis is required within the output report. Therefore, you have a choice of options for your needs!

While we do not support customer-created Data Captures and Outputs, we can evaluate your requirements and provide advice on the best approach to achieve your desired outcomes.

**Note:** GoReport Creator Tool is only available to our Enterprise clients, for more information on getting access to Creator please [contact us.](https://goreport.com/contact-us/)

**Benefits of Cloning a Data Capture**

With GoReport Creator, you have the ability to duplicate and modify data captures according to your business requirements. This streamlined process simplifies the customization of existing data captures, allowing you to edit and tailor them.

It's important to note that while cloning a data capture is possible, it won't automatically generate an output. The creation and design of the output must be done through [publish templates](https://knowledge.goreport.com/knowledge/publish-settings?hsLang=en) using Microsoft Word.

**Cloned Data Capture:**
