Custom Report Types: Build and Customize Reports with the Salesforce ADX-201 Exam

B.

The statement is partially true. Custom Report Types (CRTs) in Salesforce do allow you to create a framework from which users can create and customize reports in the report wizard. However, it is also possible to create and customize reports in Report Builder using Custom Report Types.

Custom Report Types (CRTs) in Salesforce are used to create new report types by combining data from different objects or fields. CRTs allow you to specify which objects and fields are available for users to report on, as well as define relationships between those objects. This enables users to create reports that span across multiple objects and fields in a way that is not possible with standard report types.

Once a CRT is created, users can use the report wizard to create reports based on that CRT. The report wizard provides a simple, step-by-step interface for users to select the fields they want to include in the report and define report criteria. However, it is important to note that not all the features available in Report Builder are available in the report wizard.

That being said, Custom Report Types can also be used in Report Builder to create custom reports with more advanced features. Report Builder allows users to create more complex reports, including cross-object and joined reports, and provides a greater degree of control over report formatting and layout. In this way, Custom Report Types can be used to extend the functionality of Report Builder.

In summary, Custom Report Types do allow you to create a framework for users to create and customize reports in the report wizard, but they can also be used to create custom reports in Report Builder.
