Any custom report column with an alternate date or period range defined before 2010.1 keeps its previous behavior and now has an alternate range type of Relative to today's date. This range uses the current date when the report runs, and doesn't change if you adjust the report range. If you want a custom report column to use the new relative alternate date range functionality, edit the customized report. On the Edit Columns page, select the column, set the Alternate Range Type to Relative to report date, and edit the Alternate Range field as needed.
