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

 

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

 

 

Now you should have the "Custom Report" you could enjoy to use. We were working with Microsoft how we . There is a thread on this already from MSDN.
