On the main portal page, the display tells you how many reports/subreports are in the collection, but does not tell you how many are selected.
This is useful to know when processing in batches that you’ve selected everything you intended to by count. On WIndows, I just select the folders I’m processing reports from and right-click properties to get my control totals.
You do get a total once you switch to ODBC, but it would be handy to have it on the first page.
