Dear Users,

We've just added a new feature on reports intended to take out some of the  
clutter.

On supported reports (which is most of them) you can now choose which kinds  
of "users" to exclude. By default, only registered users will show up in  
reports, but you have the option to include "demo\_user", and "admin", as  
well as any unknown users. For example, looking at submissions from unknown  
users can help you troubleshoot by seeing if any of your CHWs is submitting  
under credentials different from the ones that the server recognizes.  
Looking at demo\_user is useful for testing your application before you even  
deploy it.

People have been asking for this feature for quite some time now. We hope  
this will make it that much easier to get at the data you want to see in  
CommCare HQ.

Cheers,  
The CommCare HQ Team
