    Hi and welcome to the BC world.

    This is a good starting point for working with report layouts:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../ui-manage-report-layouts

    If the fields you need is not already in the dataset of the report you will have to make a report extension.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-report-ext-object
