Qrew LegendQrew LegendMark - Thanks again for your insight. We do need the ability to 'see' this entire report, but just not be confronted with 50 rows of grouped (but un-collapsed) data especially in a report link in a highly used form. Thus dynamic filters will not work for this use case. I do think the ability to manage the default table report settings to control whether a group is presented in collapsed vs un-collapsed format would be a worthwhile feature.
A colleague of mine mentioned a work around that I will try this evening. His recommendation is to create 5 additional reports (one filtered for each phase) so that the project managers have a choice of opening the full report vs the specific phase they want to view. Me personally.... I wouldn't mind opening the full report then clicking the box to collapse everything and then clicking the phase I wanted to work on in grid/edit format. Some of my colleagues are wanting to grid edit from the parent form and not wanting to take the additional keystrokes to open the full report. Thoughts?
