By default, a new report item is enabled, which means that it will always be used as a data source. However, it is possible to build a rule to disable a report item.  Disabled report items are shown in red.

To disable a report item, select it from the Report Item view, and use the right click menu “disable report item”. This will bring you to the Objectives wizard step.

To enable a report item which has previously been disabled, select it from the Report Item view, and use the right click menu “enable report item”.

Note: Only block and table report items can be disabled using rules. Folders determine the XML structure of the data source and are always enabled.
