Step By Step

When you create a new report, the selection of the report type is a critical step.

It determines:

  • the fields you will be able to use as columns in the report,
  • the fields you will be able to filter on,
  • the pre-filters displayed report on customization page,
  • and of course, the data displayed in the report.

 

Be very careful when you select the report type, because there is no possibility to change it once your report is created.

Some report types are combine several objects.

For instance :

  • Cases with Case Product Details
  • Cases with/without Case Product Details

With those two report types, you will have the same fields and filters available, but there is a major difference with data:

  • Cases with Case Product Details --> Will appear ONLY the cases which have a product.
  • Cases with/without Case Product Details --> All cases will appear.
