Edit a Report

You can use the Options tab in the Report Editor to specify the information you want to include in a report. The options you select become columns in a result set generated by the report. A pencil icon next to an option indicates that the corresponding column in the generated result set will be editable.

Important: When the report is run from the Entity/Table level asking for attribute/column names, and if some of the attributes/columns are marked as logical or physical only, or even if there is a difference between the number of displayed attributes and columns because of any transform, the report shows the displayed attributes and columns but the attributes and columns will not necessarily correspond to each other in the same line. This gives the appearance of mismatched attributes and columns, but the report is behaving as expected. If you want to see which attribute matches which column, then you need to run the report at the Attribute/Column level.
