3. 
3. In the Create a report from a topic screen, select the topic that you want to base your report on. You can use the following methods to choose a topic:
   • If you know the name of the topic, select it in the list.
   • If you want to browse the topics, click the topic names in the list to show more information about them. When you select a topic, Dayforce shows a list of the fields that are available to use in your report. To view more information about the fields, click the field names.
   • If you know the name of a field that you want to include in the report, enter the field name in the search. Dayforce shows topics where either the topic name or a field in the topic contains the search terms.
4. Note: Dayforce displays the message “No sample available” in the Sample Data area for a field if no data is available or if you don’t have the necessary access permissions to view data for that field.
4. Click Add Topic. The report designer opens with the empty report in a new tab.
5. Add one or more fields as columns in your report by selecting the checkbox next to the field name and clicking Insert. You must add at least one field to the report before you can save it.
6. Click Save As.

You can edit reports using the controls in the report designer. See Edit Reports.
