    DPeaco  you should be using host groups for scoping vs running report on all your clients and then filtering.  the host groups will pre-process/filter the report to only show you the clients you are interested in, then the condition that will give you more granular filtering.

Job Summary Template is what's being used. Also using the same template for daily backup reports for each system administrator. So this template is being well "used". :) 

BTW, the policy list for the report will be primarily static. I think it's changed like once in the past 6 years.
