You can choose to include or exclude sub-folders in the hierarchy. Selecting this option includes data from all child locations in the resulting views, such as the data grid and chart panel. This is also referred to as 'with recurse.'
To include subfolders
-
In the hierarchy panel, click Include data from this location and its child locations.

When recurse is enabled, the columns in the Results grid are a union of all fields that belong to the child fields of the selected parent location.
Example: Enabling ‘recurse’ results in a union of all field values
In this example, if you select reporting point 1, the results grid displays the data from fields A and B. If you select reporting point 2, the results grid displays data from fields A and C. If you select the parent SiteFolder, the results grid combines all data from fields A, B, and C.

This table shows the resulting fields that display, depending on parent selection.

The fields that do not apply for certain records are disabled. For example, a record for reporting point 1 never has a value for Field C, therefore this field is disabled.
