Learn - Add to a new data item (Object) to a report

In this article, we'll explain how to add a data item (object) to a report. 

All objects that might be included in a report are available in the reporting 'Universe'. It is possible to search the universe and add to a report, any object which is not included by default. 

In this video, we'll show how to add a User information field to the Course Compliance report. The same steps can be followed to add other custom fields. For example, Event, Course, Lesson, or Group custom fields.

Steps to add an Object to a report

1. Navigate to Learn admin
2. Select Reports and Analysis, and open a report
3. Select 'Design Mode' at the top right of the report.
4. Select the 'Edit Data Provider' button at the top left of the page to edit the report query. This is where you can select more objects from the universe:
   
5. Select 'Available Objects'
6. Use the filter pane to search for Objects:
7. Click and drag the Object into the 'Result objects' window
8. Run the report again. You can now select the object you have added from the 'Available Objects' window on the left of the report page and drag and drop it into your report.
