Budget Balance Sheet Report Questions

I am trying to understand the Budget Balance Sheet Report.


When I run it, it shows that I have 'Unallocated Assets'. However it shows that I have no Assets in any of my Asset Accounts (each account shows a zero balance). Several actually have significant balances and when you click on the link to them it shows the balance.


What is the Report supposed to do?


What are the 'Unallocated Assests'?


Why does the Report show no Assets in any of my Asset Accounts?


I found one short mention of the report in Wiki. It says that it is a projection report. Since I can find no place to set a date range, I assume the report is for the budget period (in my case Jan-Dec 2017).


Is the Report saying that I am projected to have $362 more Assets than I budgeted? Do I have zero assets because this is my first year in GNUCash and so it does not know what I had at the end of 2016?


My main concern is that I have entered something improperly, if so I want to correct it before I get to far along.


Thanks for your help,


Larry
