You have given a perfect example why it can be better to run the report 
(in Gnucash) and then export the raw re[port to a document you can edit 
as needed. I used to vary detail by area all the time, but I didn't ask 
gnucash to do that for me.

Thus as treasurer, needed full breakdowns, how much went to each intern, 
how much was time and how much mileage reimbursement << for tax filing 
 >> but on their copy of the quarterly report the board of directors 
just care about the total spent on interns . Or for an event, the 
postage and mailing expense separate (line item on 990/990-EZ) but for 
the BoD just expense total for the event.

Note that even if you HAD "boxes to click on and off" this would be 
slower than editing out unwanted detail using a full capability editor.
