Option2：
1. Root cause: The root cause is there is hidden site feature named WACustomReportsneeds to be enabled in order for users to see "Custom Report" button. You could check this from 14 hive directory
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\WACustomReports.
<Feature Id="AF6D9AEC-7C38-4dda-997F-CC1DDBB87C92"
Title="$Resources:wacore,WACustomReportsFeatureTitle"
Description="$Resources:wacore,WACustomReportsFeatureDesc"
Version="14.0.0.0"
Hidden="TRUE"
Scope="Site"
SolutionId="7ED6CD55-B479-4EB7-A529-E99A24C10BD3"
ReceiverAssembly="Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.UI, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"
ReceiverClass="Microsoft.Office.Server.WebAnalytics.CustomReportsFeature"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
</Feature>
2. Procedure to check. You could use the following powershell commend to verify whether you have this feature enabled on site collection.
Get-SPFeature -Site http://sitecollectionurl
If you have the feature enabled, you will see the following entry.
DisplayName Id Scope
----------- -- -----
WACustomReports af6d9aec-7c38-4dda-997f-cc1ddbb87c92 Site
3. Commend to fix this if not already activated. Here is the commend to enable this feature so users could have the "Custom Report" button.
Enable-SPFEATURE WACustomReports –URL http://sitecollectionURL
Now you should have the "Custom Report" you could enjoy to use. We were working with Microsoft how we could enable this for all sites automatically. There is a thread on this already from MSDN.
