User Fields (UF)
 
The E1–E8 topics above contain fields from the folders on Employee (HR11.1). If you are building a report that includes data found under those generic topics, you do not need to select a detail topic.
Examples
In an earlier example, Mary Johnson was building a report on current employee direct deposit information. To get the data for such a report, she can select the Employee Report Type and the Direct Deposit Detail Topic.
Terrence Phillip wants to write a report in HR Writer to get the current address and employee status for all active employees. Since those items are contained on Employee (HR11.1), a detail topic is not required to build the report. The desired data is found in the generic topics that are available for all reports.
