Explain Standard and Custom Reports in Salesforce

hi,

With a Standard Report, whenever you create a new field, that field will automatically be added to the Standard Report / be available in the Standard Report. Also, when you're selecting the report types, the Standard Reports will give you a little chart visual preview, whereas with a Custom Report, it'll say No Preview Available.

With a Custom Report, if you create a field after the Custom Report Type was created, you will need to manually add the field to the Custom Report Type.

thanks.

Hi,

Standard Reports. A Standard Report presents what we believe is the most important data for any given domain, subdomain or URL in our index, including your own website or that of a competitor. The Standard Report has three main sections - an overview, a backlinks view, and an anchor text view.

Custom Report. A Custom Report is a report that you create. You pick the dimensions (City and Browser, for example) and metrics (Sessions, Pageviews, and Bounce Rate, for example) and decide how they should be displayed. You must specify at least one dimension and one metric.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Standard Salesforce Reports
A report represents the relationship between primary objects and its related objects. To represent this relationship report has predefined templates which makes reporting easier. Every report displays only those records which meet the criteria.

Salesforce has Standard report type as default report type. Standard report type is present for all salesforce standard objects. For custom objects, Salesforce automatically creates a standard report type using “with”, or “and” relationship.

Custom Salesforce Reports
The custom report type can be created by selecting the objects of your interest and their relationships. The wizard will give access to all child objects of these selected objects. This type of report can be customized as per user need.

Thanks.
