A Salesforce report can only use the records and fields that its report type, the template that defines which objects and columns are in play, makes available, and you cannot switch that type after the report exists. When a field is missing from the builder or looks gone from the run results, the cause is usually the report type or its field layout, a grouping or formula rule, a filter, or the user's field permissions on the records. Custom report types expose only the fields an administrator placed on the layout, including optional lookup fields from related objects.

Core information
  • The report type you choose determines which records and fields appear. For example, Opportunities gives Opportunity records and fields such as Amount, Stage, and Type, and you cannot change the report type after the report is created.
More details and nuances
  • While a custom report type is In Development, the type and its reports are hidden from everyone except users with the Manage Custom Report Types permission, and only those users can create and run reports on it until the type is Deployed.
