Some of the features and concepts introduced here are very advanced, and may not be needed by most people. Odds are, most of the reports you need are either built-in or you can make trivial modifications to a built-in report to get what you need. If you need help with some of the more in-depth features of custom reports, please contact our support team for assistance.
Custom reports are a powerful concept and are the basis for many other reports in VSys. These reports in VSys are not "magical", they're just regular reports that any user can open, change, re-arrange, or create entirely from scratch. Custom reports start with their Type of report, which is the source of the data that's used as its basis.
