Reporting using custom fields

Hello,

I would like to know how I can create a report using the two custom fields we have created when an employee create an expense report.

@StephanieVSM do you have Cognos 11 (see screenshot if you are not sure). Search for the word "Custom" as shown on same screenshot.

The search can take a bit to load, so wait for it! When I searched, the first group, shown above, that came up were all from the Report Header (we also have custom fields in the header). I loaded Custom 1 - Code and Custom 1 - Name on the report and verified they were from the report header. Both fields returned the employee's input, so that tells me whoever configured this did not "Name" the field, but used the user input in both.

The custom fields on your Header should typically start with the first field. 

I was able to successfully run a report witht the users input.
