Digging in to Report Types Part II
Thursday April 22nd @ 12am ET
A continuation of our previous discussion on report types. A critical first choice we make when reporting in Salesforce is that first choice- which Report Type should we use to get at the data we need to report on? Report Types defines which records and fields are available for use on a Report, based on the relationships between the objects involved. The out-of-the-box Report Types harbor a secret hiding in plain sight related to the nature of joins which can take new Report writers time to sort out. System Administrators, and those with permissions, can create Custom Report Types which introduce left outer joins, the ability to report on more than 50 other Objects in Salesforce, and a secret superpower that allows us to flatten the database. Join us in Digging into Report Types!
