What confused me -- and probably should be fixed in the future -- was that the 
available actions changed between when I requested the report and when it 
appeared.  Since the action bar was greyed out in the meantime, I didn't 
notice the change.

I'll endorse the point that the generation of the default  report is time-
consuming, and that time is usually wasted.
