Django rendering different templates in one class based view

I'm starting to use class based views for an application I'm creating but I'm nots sure how it works.

What I need is to have three different templates, and each template will show different information depending on a model field. My question is if there's a way to have only one class view that can render three different html templates with 3 different contexts, or if I need to create 3 different classes.

Using function based views, I would just do this:

# def humanResourcesView(request):  #     context = {  #         'data' : Document.objects.all().filter(documentType='humanResources'),  #     }  #     return render(request, 'main/hr.html', context)      # #view to display training documents after click  # def trainingView(request):  #     context = {  #         'data' : Document.objects.all().filter(documentType='training'),  #     }  #     return render(request, 'main/training.html', context)      # #view to display resource documents after click  # def reportsView(request):  #     context = {  #         'data' : Document.objects.all().filter(documentType='reports')  #     }  #     return render(request, 'main/reports.html', context)      

But I'm not sure how it works with class based views. Currently I have this, which renders and filters data correctly for one template, but I don't know how to do multiple templates. Do I need to create 3 different classes?

class DocumentView(View):      def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):          reports = Document.objects.all().filter(documentType="reports")            context = {              'reports' : Document.objects.all().filter(documentType='reports')          }          return render(request, 'documents/reportsDocs.html', context)  

Is there a way to only have one class, and pass a certain context depen
