- If you can't find the report using the Search function, click on "Folders" on the menu on the left-hand-side of the page (image 3)

- Open up the correct report folder and you'll find the report there (image 4)

You can create a report for whichever object (function) you like in Salesforce. E.g. "contacts with accounts" or "courses with attendees". 

- Click on New Report (image 1)

- Select the report type using the menu on the left-hand-side or to the right as shown in image 2

You need to update the report filters so that you restrict the report results to only the data you want to see. Each report filter represents a field in Salesforce associated with that object (e.g. the Account fields).

- Click on the Filters header (underlined in blue) - image below 

- Click on the filter you want to edit (e.g. you need to change "My Accounts" to "ALL Accounts" - image below 

- Edit the other filters as required

You can add additional filters / criteria by clicking on the "Add Filter" box (see below) and selecting the correct field you want to add criteria against:

Adding / Removing fields from a report:-

You can select what information you want to see on the report by adding or removing fields to it. 

- Removing Fields: Click on the drop-down arrow next to the column header and select Remove Column:

- Adding Fields: Click on the Fields side-bar (circled below) 

- Start typing the first few letters of the field name in order to bring it up  (see below)

- Double-click on the field name to add it to the report

Note: The fields are sorted by Salesforce object name (e.g. Account / Contact etc.)

You can add a chart to a report (e.g. a pie-chart or a graph) if you want to. This is a good way to show a report summary. 

In order to add a chart to a report you'll need to add "Groupings" to it. This is known as summarising values/data at column-header level. 

- Click on the drop-down arrow next to the appropriate column you want to summarise 

- Select Group Rows by This Field (see below)

- Click on Save As (see below)

- Give the report a unique name and make sure you save it under a folder you have access to (see below)

Note: If you save the report under your "Private" folder, nobody else can view it.

- Click on Add Chart (see below)

- Click on the cog (highlighted below) to select / change the report type

You can also select what data you want to see at both the X and Y axis of the chart from here.
