[GNC] Saved Report Configurations

[Adrien Monteleone]

I do the same. I have general configurations saved, but anything 
particular to that solitary instance of the report, I do not save as 
part of the configuration. Those will be one-offs so no need to save 
them as a config, just run and if I want, save as a PDF.

Regards,
Adrien
