What does the "visible" section in the Custom Reports do?

ANSWER
----------------------------------

All the custom reports are held in the Custom Report section of Administration->Reports in SilkCentral Test Manager. The "visible" section of Custom Reports can be found when you click on the report name.

Visible means that the report is visible to you so that you can run the report as a standalone report. The reason why this feature exists is so that you can have reports that are generated from other reports. Any of the custom reports that have been shipped with SilkCentral Test Manager that have the visible property not set, are not designed to run as a standalone reports. Further modifications would be needed to run this report as a standalone report.
