[ic] Need Item-Attributes in UI

[Admin]

I will repost this question.  I did not get an answer but It seams like the
list is slow last few days
so I don't know if I have email problems or what so excuse if someone
replied.

Anyway I need to get Item attributes that the customer has submitted to
display in a UI report that
summarizes daily orders.  Can I do this the same way as in checkout, cart,
and email.
When I look @ the UI pages all info is called from the orderline table. Do I
need to create fields
in orderline and have the item attributes written to this field in order to
include it in a custom UI report?
