1. An overview explaining the report you require.  .   a formula or computed field that transforms the managedby to a manager displayname

2. What version of Enterprise Reporter is being used?  3.5

3. What discoveries have been run?   have been using powershell but now developing a few reports using ER.

4. Is there a library report that closely matches what you require?   'users that have never logged on' is close and i added fields but the manager field is the difficulty with converting it to displayname

5. What fields are required in the report?   username, samaccount, email, managerdisplayname,   lastlogon, password last set, accountexpires 

6. How does the information in the report need to be sorted?   if there is a twistie available to be tagged to columns that would be great. i can customize for sort myself

7. What parameters are required for filtering the report?  should be able specify OU and Group wildcard

8. How will this report be consumed? For example, will the report be viewed in report display, exported to CSV, or exported to PDF?
   This report will both be displayed in report display and exported to CSV. no pdf needed.
   
   note:  I can create this same report in powershell but not sure of how to convert the CN for the managedby (for the User) to a displayname value.  
   In a report using the Manager.Displayname is preferred for readability rather than using the CN
   
   Here is a sample from PS for what im talking about
   Get-ADGroupMember -Identity "AAA_SCREENING" | ForEach-Object {
   $user = Get-ADUser $_.SamAccountName -Properties EmailAddress, Manager, DisplayName
   $manager = Get-ADUser $user.Manager -Properties DisplayName
   [pscustomobject]@{
   Name = $user.Name
   NUID = $_.SamAccountName
   Email = $user.EmailAddress
   ManagerDisplayName = $manager.DisplayName
   }
   }
   
   

   <#

   
   Name        NUID Email    ManagerDisplayName
