What is a Master Burst Report?

As mentioned earlier, a master report involves assembling or “bringing back” summarized content from other sub-reports into one master report.

Essentially, it is a type of lookup similar in nature to a table lookup except it is a “report lookup.” The burst calculation returns new columns into the main report, similar to a table lookup. These columns allow users to see summarized relevant data from selected rows “bursted” from sub-report results. A master report and it sub-reports may be run manually or set in Automator.
