What are Custom Reports in Salesforce?

Adding some points:

Custom Report Types are a fantastically easy way to create complex, dynamic reports that go beyond standard Salesforce reports.. A report type can be looked at as a template or framework that tells Salesforce which objects/relationships to look at and which fields to grab. By default, you get given various standard reports that Salesforce generates automatically for you. These reports link standard objects together like Accounts with Opportunities, Opportunities with Products, as well as reporting on Objects on their own,

e.g. “Cases”. If you also create custom objects and add lookup/master-detail relationships, Salesforce will automatically create standard report types for these as well, such as Opportunities with Shipping or Opportunities and Shipping (Depending on whether it is a lookup or master-detail).

Custom report types can include up to 4 objects in a parent-child mode, include fields from lookups to other object as well as a whole bunch of other features, let’s take a deeper look. To get started on CRT please navigate to..

Hello,

A Custom Report is a report that you create. You pick the dimensions (City and Browser, for example) and metrics (Sessions, Pageviews, and Bounce Rate, for example) and decide how they should be displayed. You must specify at least one dimension and one metric. Learn about dimensions and metrics.

You can create a custom report by going to -

Setup -> Create -> Report Types -> New

Thanks.
