For example, if you select attribute values, Campbell, Engineering, Cost Center 1 and select Filter by Common Attributes, the report will display only the results that contain all 3 attribute values. If you do not select Filter by Common Attributes, the report will display all results with attributes Campbell, Engineering, or Cost Center 1.
