Overview

Reports may contain unnecessary data and manually formatting them can be very challenging. To remove the need for manual manipulation of data prior to its use in supporting business decision making, in Report Builder you are allowed to add and remove fields. This will allow you to choose the necessary data or information that you want included in your report by selecting the list of columns possible under your selected base or saved reports. Your selection on this section will define all the columns you can see in your report.
