About Custom Reports
When you like a particular Daily Report, Data Management Report or Management Report, but wish that you had the ability to change what field it is grouped on, sorted by or if you wanted to be able to filter it by more complex criteria then you may want to consider a Custom Report.
Custom Reports give you the ability to:
Change one field to group the data
Add many sorts (usually you can add a sort for each field included in the report)
Add many complex filter commands
A Custom Report is based on a Template. A template is a report that retrieves a set of records that can be used for various tracking activities. You cannot change a template, but you can change the way the information on the template is displayed to better meet your management needs.
There is a learning curve involved, as this additional power requires additional knowledge. For specific information and steps to created a custom report see Creating Custom Reports.
