A report returns a set of records that meets certain criteria, and displays it in organized rows and columns. Report data can be filtered, grouped, and displayed graphically as a chart. Reports are stored in folders, which control who has access. You must have at least “Read” permission on the records included in your reports; otherwise, when you run them, they may be missing data or appear blank. To help you monitor your organization, Salesforce offers a wide range of standard reports, accessible in standard report folders on the Reports tab. You can also create new custom reports to access exactly the information you need. Subtotal and limit your data to help you analyze trends and get a concise picture of what is happening in your organization. 5 Company Standard Reports

Reports are stored in folders which only the administrators can create. To create a folder, we go to the report list view and click the “Create new folder link”: 6 Company Standard Reports We insert the new folder title (the identifier is automatically generated from this name), we can add reports created before which have not yet been filed (we can access them filtering by the Unfiled Public Reports), and assign view privileges. NOTE: it is important that we only grant “readonly” privileges so users to whom we give access only display this information and don’t modify its content.

7 Company Standard Reports
8
Once our folder has been created we can add our new reports by clicking the “Create new custom report” button: 8 Company Standard Reports
9
We are going to create a report to have a view of the accounts created in France in 2011 grouped by their account owner. First we select the Salesforce object on which we want to generate the report, and click the “Create” button: 9 Company Standard Reports
10
We will access the report edition application to customize our new report, which offers a first preview of the report. We must fist select the report type. These can be: a) Tabular: it just lists records according to the selected conditions (works just like views) b) Summary: these reports are like the tabular ones, but allow the grouping of registers (for example by account owner or any other available field) c) Matrix: you can add fields to its rows and columns to do the grouping. 10 Company Standard Reports
11
With every change we do, we can click the “Run report” button at the top to view the results: We can also change the report main information by clicking the “Report properties button: 11 Company Standard Reports
12
As we are going to group by field “Account owner” we select the “Summary format” type of report, and click “Run report” to view the report with full information. We select which accounts we want to view, in this case all accounts in the “Show” select field: 12 Company Standard Reports
13
We add filtering by the creation date to select accounts created from the 1 st of January 2011 to the 31 st of December 2011: We add filtering by the Account company, in order to show only those accounts belonging to France. To do so, we click the “Add” select field to add a new filtering condition and choose: 13 Company Standard Reports
14
In the same way as we did when creating views we add the condition “Account company equals 5020-France” and click the “OK” button to apply the new condition: 14 Company Standard Reports
15
The next thing would be to group our results by account owner. Therefore, we drag this field to the box in our list which reads “Drop a field to create a grouping”: 15 Company Standard Reports
16
Now we have to select which fields will be displayed in our report. To delete fields just drag them from our record list to the selection sidebar: We will just leave the account name and the field “Historical Sales” which was created to show the amount in won opportunities associated to an account. 16 Company Standard Reports
17
This will only show for each account owner, its accounts and sales amounts. We click the arrow beside the “Historical sales” and select the order criteria (as it is a numeric field): 17 Company Standard Reports
18
Once the accounts per owner have been ordered, we also want to view the total amount per owner (summarize this field). We click once more on the same arrow and select “Summarize this field”: 18 Company Standard Reports
19
We select the type of operation (Sum, average, etc.), in this case “Sum”, and apply the change: This will add a “Grand total” row at the end of the report with the result of adding all the historical sales amounts, and for each owner a partial historical sales amount. Finally we click the “Run report” button to view the new report. 19 Company Standard Reports
20
20 Company Standard Reports
21
21 Company Standard Reports If we only want to view the amounts (not the account name), we can hide the details per group (account owner) by clicking the “Hide details” button:
22
22 Company Standard Reports Finally we can save the report by clicking the “Save as” button”. We will have to insert the report name and the folder in which we want to save it:
23
23 Company Standard Reports Now we will create a report with the opportunities amount won in the year 2010 per quarter in France. In the creation of the report we select type “Opportunity”:
24
24 Company Standard Reports We select the period in the filters and add the condition necessary to view only those belonging to France: We select the fields we want to view: only the amount.
25
25 Company Standard Reports As we are going to display in columns the year quarters and in rows the opportunities grouped by account owner we select the matrix display:
26
26 Company Standard Reports We drag to the columns the “Fiscal year” and to the rows the Account owner. We click the hide details button as we only want to summarize the information and click on the “Summarize” option for the field amount to add it to our new matrix. Finally we click the run report button:
27
27 Company Standard Reports We could have added the “Opportunity name” field and not hidden the details and we would see which opportunities exactly were close by each owner per quarter in 2010:
28
A dashboard shows data from source reports as visual components, which can be charts, gauges, tables, metrics, or Visualforce pages. They provide a snapshot of key metrics and performance indicators for your organization. Each dashboard can have up to 20 components. We are going to create a dashboard with each report we have created before and set it as our home dashboard. We will also program a diary email to send us this dashboard. 28 Dashboards
29
To create a new dashboard we must go to the “Dashboards” tab and go to the general list: 29 Dashboards
30
We click the “New Dashboard” button: 30 Dashboards
31
Each dashboard can show up to three columns with the graphical representation of the reports we have access to: 31 Dashboards
32
In the left sidebar we find two tabs: - Components: in this tab we will select which graphical component we are going to use for each report. - Data sources: show the list of reports to which we have access, in other words, it lists the available reports for our dashboard. First of all, we access the “Data Sources” tab and select the report we want to add. If such report already had a graphical component, it will be added automatically (we can change it in our dashboard later on). If not, we will have to select on. 32 Dashboards
33
We select the report and drag-and-drop it to the chosen column: 33 Dashboards
34
We now select in the “Components” tab the graphical component we want to use with this report (just drag-and-drop it to the column over the report): 34 Dashboards
35
We can edit or delete each dashboard’s properties by clicking on the available tools on the top right hand side of each one: 35 Dashboards
36
Once we have finished adding all the chosen reports to our dashboard, we click the “Save As” button over the left sidebar and save our new dashboard: 36 Dashboards
37
We can set this new dashboard as our home dashboard by accessing the Setup panel -> Personal Setup -> My Personal Information -> Change my display. We select the Home page and click “Customize my pages”. We will then be able to select this dashboard, to be shown each time we access our Salesforce home page: 37 Dashboards

Highlight the Download the application link and select Get Link from the menu. Click Download to download the application.

If you're running versions 4.0–4.3 of the operating system, you can still download and install the mobile application; however, the mobile server will detect the older operating system and send version 11.6 of the mobile application, which was the last release that supported operating system versions 4.0–4.3. You can't use any of the new features included in the current release or future releases until you upgrade to the most recent BlackBerry operating system for your phone. 46 Salesforce mobile
