1. Navigate to Google's Report Types documentation.
2. Select the report that you're going to sync.
3. Select the field which is not appearing in the Fivetran connector setup page.
4. Click The + sign next to Not compatible with the following field
5. Remove incompatible fields in the Fivetran connector setup page.
