Standard report types get created when an object is created, and also when a relationship is created. Standard Report Types cannot be customized and automatically include standard and custom fields for each object within the report type. Standard Report Types are automatically included with standard objects and also with custom objects where “Allow Reports” is checked. Once a report is created, its report type cannot be changed.A report type cannot include more than 4 objects.All these objects must be linked together either directly or indirectly.
