The check box indicates whether the report is locked. (A locked report cannot be deleted.)

You can display any report by double-clicking the grid row.

Note: The availability of the Retained Process Reports dialog and the maximum number of reports you can retain for an action are determined by the Report Retention settings in Personal Options. See Actions Tab in Personal Options for further information.
