Reporting - custom attribute reporting

My goal is to better optimize cad time spent creating one-lines so we've invested in AutoCAD electrical.

 

I'm new to AutoCAD Elec and will be predominately working with schematic layouts.  Ideally, I'd like to report on all of the custom fields for each of the blocks which I've created.  There might be 6 or 12 custom fields for each symbol and I might only be using 6 or 7 families, from Overload limiters to Transformers.   I've given the above a few trials and I'm not getting options of seeing my customized fields for the reporting. 

 

Can someone point me in the right direction for customized reporting on Customized symbols?

On the report tab, have a look at user defined attributes.

Ok, I get that and I'm able to select the attributes form various blocks for reporting.  It ends up creating a ".wda" file.   What do I launch afte that to collect the desired data?  Must I run Each component individually or is there a basic easy way to combine them?

If the attribute name is the same for all blocks, just create a default.wda, and place it somewhere that AcadE can find it.

Then run the reports you want, and the attributes should be "selectable".
