Reimagine Reporting with Lightning Report Builder (Generally Available)
Give your users a powerful, intuitive tool for analyzing Salesforce
data. The future in reporting has fully arrived with Lightning report builder becoming
generally available. You can group, filter, and summarize records to answer business questions
like “How much revenue did we generate in the South East last quarter?”; “Which lead source is
generating the most closed opportunities?”; and “What is the average age of all open cases?”
Lightning Report Builder includes some changes since the last release.
Where: This feature is available in Lightning Experience in Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
Who:
- To create, edit, and delete reports in your private folder, you need Create and Customize Reports user permission.
- To create, edit, and delete reports in public folders, you need either the Report Builder or the Report Builder (Lightning Experience) user permission.
How: To build a report in Lightning Report Builder, on the Reports tab, click
