What type of report allows you to access fields from Related Business Object one level away without using a calculated field function?

• A. Advanced
• B. Simple
• C. Basic
• D. Custom

Answer: (A)

Cross-object data access is a capability that depends on the report type. Advanced reports are designed to work across relationships, allowing you to pull fields from a Related Business Object one level away directly in the field picker. You can select those related fields without having to create a calculated field just to reach that data, which makes this type of report ideal when you need information that lives on a related object.

Basic reports stay focused on fields on the primary object and don’t easily reach related objects. Simple reports offer more structure but still don’t provide the same seamless cross-object access as Advanced. Custom is a broader customization option and doesn’t specifically define this cross-object access capability. So the best choice for accessing a related object's fields without a calculated field is Advanced.
