Report Categories

This dialog presents a list of items that can be used a Custom Report in its left pane. When a category is selected on the left, the right side displays the items that can be added to the report item list. All categories display a list of items on the right except for Activities, Connectors and Resources. These display a tree view from which components can be selected. If there are no items for a particular category, the right side remains empty. Items are added to the report item list by selecting items on the right hand side and clicking Add Items.

The available categories are:
