Mapping Report Model Entities to Drill-through Reports

When you use Sql Mgmt Studio to assign a report as a drill-through target for
a model entity, you can assign reports for both "Single Instance" and
"Multiple Instance". Does anyone know what this means? I had a 2+-hour
support session with a member of MS SQL Reporting team, and he didn't know
either.

RB,
If you have opened RB through some other server then you can attach where it
is for multiple instance of the servers. Basically to update on the report
server database of multiple servers is called multiple instance and single
server is called single instance.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345298.aspx
(Lesson 12: Specifying Clickthrough Report Options from BOL):
"There are two clickthrough templates for each entity: a single instance
template and a multi-instance template. A single instance template is used
when the user clicks an instance of the entity. A multi-instance template is
used when the user clicks an aggregate value and multiple instances of the
entity are displayed."
I am sure that I am not the only person who fervently wishes that the
reference sectins of the documentation contained such information.
