For each file, it shows the Filename and Library, a brief text description, and a numeric Report ID. The Report ID field can have the following values:

  • 1: Reports contain user-selected fields and changed fields
  • 2: Reports contain user-selected fields and changed fields. If a record is completely added or deleted, the report contains all its fields.
  • 4: Reports contain key fields and changed fields.
  • 5: Reports contain key fields and changed fields. If a record is completely added or deleted, the report contains all its fields.
  • 8: Reports contain user-selected fields.
  • 9: Reports contain all fields.
