Usage Note
Rapportare means to put something in relation to something else (rapportare i dati alla media = 'to compare the data against the average') or, reflexively, to relate to people (rapportarsi bene con i colleghi = 'to get on well with colleagues'). It takes avere as auxiliary in the non-reflexive form. Do not confuse with riportare (to report, to bring back) even though both can be translated as 'to report' in some contexts.
