Unique identities for summary or custom summary formula fields in the report. For example:
  • a!Amount represents the average for the Amount column.
  • s!Amount represents the sum of the Amount column.
  • m!Amount represents the minimum value of the Amount column.
  • x!Amount represents the maximum value of the Amount column.
  • s!<customfieldID> represents the sum of a custom field column. For custom fields and custom report types, the identity is a combination of the summary type and the field ID.
  • u!{column_name} represents a unique count of values for the specified {column_name}. For example, u!AccountName returns the number of unique account name values in the AccountName field.
allowedInCustomDetailFormula Boolean Specifies whether a field can be referenced in a row-level formula (true) or not (false).
buckets Bucket field Describes a bucket field.
chart Chart[] Details about the chart used in a report.
crossFilters Cross filter[] Cross filters applied to the report.
customDetailFormula Custom Detail Formula[] An array of objects that describes row-level formulas.
customSummaryFormula Custom summary formula Describes a custom summary formulas.
currency String Report currency, such as USD, EUR, GBP, for an organization that has Multi-Currency enabled. Value is null if the organization does not have Multi-Currency enabled.
dashboardSetting Name/value pair Allows saving of dashboard settings to allow for reports with row limit filters on dashboards. Can be configured on a report for Top-N reports. The Name and Value fields in dashboardSetting are used as Grouping and Aggregate in dashboard components.
detailColumns Array of strings Unique API names for the fields that have detailed data.
developerName String Report API name.
division String

Determines the division of records to include in the report. For example, West Coast and East Coast.

Available only if your organization uses divisions to segment data and you have the “Affected by Divisions” permission. If you do not have the “Affected by Divisions” permission, your reports include records in all divisions.
