Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • The record will not save: Recheck Chart Title and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

  • The values look right but the result is wrong: Open Standard Report, and Advanced Report from the detail page. Correct the specific relationship that is wrong instead of forcing a total or status to compensate for it.
