Overview

Reports give you access to your Salesforce data. You can examine your Salesforce data in almost limitless combinations, display it in easy-to-understand formats, and share the resulting insights with others.

Build a Report

Report Builder is a drag-and-drop tool for accessing your data quickly and comprehensively. Use it to set up new reports and edit existing ones.

  1. Navigate to the Reports tab.
  2. Click New Report.

  3. Choose a Reports Type.
    • The report type you choose determines which records are returned and which fields are available in your report.
  4. Select Create.

The report opens and shows a report type preview.

The default columns for the report type are added to the Preview Pane automatically. The duration fields show the time frames. If you don’t see the time period that you are interested in, you can change the dates, such as This Week or This Month.

The report builder consists of three panes:

  1. Fields pane: Lists all the fields available in the report type
  2. Filters: Lets you set standard and custom filters
  3. Preview Pane: Lets you see your report as you build it, using a limited number of records

You can collapse the Filters pane to give you more room to view.

You can also double click a field to add it or hold down the Control Key to add or remove multiple fields at once, just highlight the columns in the Preview pane and drag and drop in the Fields pane.
