New Report ideas

[Adrien Monteleone]

I like the idea of being able to easily select all of a particular type, but I wouldn’t want to lose the ability to select individual accounts. Doing so is very useful for tracking down errors if not also simplifying some reports.

As it stands now, one can always select the top parent account and then select all children (or deselect them). Though adding or moving an account would require a re-selection.

Perhaps an option to select by type, OR select individually (using the current mechanism) would be the best of both cases.

Regards,
Adrien
