Re: [Summary-Talk] Sub Report Config Question

[John May <jmaymailing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I think this'll work for what I'm trying to do.  If I put 
multiple folder names in the "Domains to include in this Sub-report" 
field, will it include lines from the log files in ALL the folders 
listed?
