2 Reports Questions

Quoting JUNIPER <snijuniper at comcast.net>:

This is correct behavior.  Reports act on individual accounts.  You
can select the "select subaccounts" and then limit the number of
subaccounts displayed to get the behavior in the reports that you
desire.  But reports don't work recursively.

Change the report name (to something like "My Foo Report") and then
click on the "Save Report" button.
