Combination reports are a feature that allows you to combine multiple historical reports in the same graph. Although normal reports allow you to display reports from multiple agents in a single graph, they must refer to the same records in a historical report. By using a combination report, you can display multiple historical reports in the same graph regardless of the agent used or the type of record in the report. You can also compare one report with another by displaying it as reference data (a baseline) in the graph.
The following table describes whether or not a combination report can be displayed, for each combination of graph type and graph options.
