Custom report type availability status
Key Takeaway
While a custom report type is In Development, only users with the Manage Custom Report Types permission can see it and create and run reports from it. Deployed lets all users access it.
Every custom report type has an availability status, either In Development or Deployed, that controls who can use it. In Development lets you build and test a report type privately. Deployed releases it to all users so they can create reports from it.
The two availability statuses
You choose an availability status when you create a custom report type.
| Who can use the report type | When Salesforce recommends it | |
|---|---|---|
| In Development | Only users with the Manage Custom Report Types permission | During design and testing |
| Deployed | All users | When you are ready to let all users access the report type |
You must deploy a newly created custom report type before other users can use it. After that, other users can create reports from it.
