I'm not completely sure I understand what you are asking. What exactly is 
it that you are tying to zero-out?

If you want to completely reset the configuration for a sub-report then 
you should delete the sub-report and then add it again.

If you want to reset the log data for a sub-report and you are not using 
incremental mode then all of the log data gets reprocessed every time, so 
there won't be anything left over from previous runs, so nothing should 
need to get reset.

If you want to reset the log data for a sub-report and you are using 
incremental mode then you probably shouldn't be using incremental mode 
until you have things configured the way you want them. Since you have to 
turn off incremental mode to change the settings, and that resets all of 
the log data anyway, then again there shouldn't be anything additional 
you should need to do.

If you simply don't want to see results for older log files then you can 
set a "Start processing on (MM/DD/YY)" date on the Time configuration 
page.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
