Selection requirements for report formats and aggregate report fields

To produce meaningful reports, observe some basic requirement for tables and charts and aggregate report fields.
Aggregate report fields
Requirements
If you include an aggregate report field in a table or chart, you must include a grouping field.
Definition
An aggregate report field contains data that is derived from one or more original data fields in the Build Forge database. The data for aggregate report fields is not stored in the database.
The following report fields are aggregate fields.

Project: Step Count Step Metrics: Percent Steps Failed Step Metrics: Percent Steps Passed
Step Metrics: Step Average Duration Step Metrics: Step Count Quality: Build Count
Quality: Percent Builds Failed Quality: Percent Builds Passed Build: Build Count
