Showing dynamic fields on a report?

My app has a number of dynamic fields that show based on a location field.

Everything is working properly. Except, when I just click the eyeball to view the record, I only see the fields that are mandatory on the default report. 

I know I can open it to see it all, but is there a way to get these additional fields to show? Ideally only fields that are either populated OR the dynamic fields from the actual form that show based on that location.  I do see the location as being set on the default report. 

Can this be done with a report at all? If not the default can I create a new report that will allow me to show these fields and link to it from another report? I have a report on the front page for all new entries and another for new entries that week.

I'm a little confused by the text in your question but I think your question is really in the headline of your post. I think you were asking whether a report can dynamically change columns based on whether or not Thursday in those columns.

The answer is no there is not a way to have a report dynamically change columns.

Sorry... so the "View" option for a record will only show fields that are not controlled by dynamic rules that show on the form when creating a record?

So does this mean fields based on reports can not be shown at all on a report? There is no way to force them to show even if there is no data?
