Thank you, Christine! I gave this a test and it does indeed have just the functionality that we are seeking!
As for feedback, I only gave it three tries, and selecting fields to include worked well. The place that I had a bit of trouble was understanding how the combination "Display"/"Narrow by Values" was working. If one does not click Display, does one still need to narrow by a value, or, if one does not want to narrow by a value, does one need to select the blank option in the dropdown, even if one has not checked Display? What I was trying to do was to see if I could generate a report that included all of the resources present in the sandbox, but the test runs, despite my various selections of Display/Narrow by Values, I all 3 times ended up with a list of only 2 of the 10 resources. I was probably just not clicking the right combination of Display/Narrow by Value options, so maybe just a revision of terminology or rollover instructions or something like that would help. But this is an exciting feature--when is the new release?!
